I was so excited to unpack this book today, I had to share it with the next class that walked into the library. 4th grade connected the story to planning ahead and problem solving. (

Elephant and Piggie prepare to go on a drive, they continue to add things they need to bring with them on their drive. The book ends with a surprise that will surly lead to children laughing.
