Mo Willems is a genius at humorous and heartfelt books for readers. If I can share one of his books at storytime, I will. I Love My New Toy! fit with the shiny theme because new toys are usually shinier than old toys. This read was also very emotional, so it was great fun to read aloud. Children and adults enjoyed the story of Piggie's new toy.
