Description
Publisher's Description of The Good for Nothing Button! (Elephant & Piggie Like Reading)
Yellow Bird has a button. It does . . . nothing! It is a good for nothing button.
Red Bird and Blue Bird are excited to try the button. But when they press it, they discover that the button makes them happy. Happy is something! A flabbergasted Yellow Bird insists the button does nothing. But it sure does seem to be making him mad. Mad is something!
The hilarious debate that follows takes readers on an emotional roller coaster that pokes at the power of imaginative play.
Category Description for Elephant & Piggie Like Reading
This series of readers come from a variety of authors and illustrators, with encouragement from Elephant and Piggie (and author Mo Willems) inside the cover. The characters continue to introduce you to the story, clever idea. For example, in the title What About Worms!?, Piggie asks for Gerald's help with a book he can't make heads or tails of. When Gerald asks why, Piggies says because it's about worms! Get it? HAHAHA! The story is about a tiger who is not afraid of anything…except worms. It has a funny twist when the worms want to hug the tiger – AAHHH! Elephant and Piggie close the story for you as well. Good thing these are hardcover as they are sure to see a lot of use and wear!
