I'm so glad Elephant & Piggie aren't completely gone, and that other voices are getting to join in the fun!! Adorable and funny! Could be great for tying to discussions on emotions.
Made me giggle just like when I read Elephant and Piggie. Another winner for the new Elephant and Piggie Like Reading series.
Meh. It was OK. A good beginner/easy reader. Just not to the standard of E&P. In fact, the parts I liked best were the beginning and end with E&P. The grass book was better.
Me, my son, and his entire kindergarten classroom loved this book! 3 birds find themselves alone with a red button that seemingly does nothing when they push it. However, why do their emotions change each time the button is pushed? With a great comedic voice, this author shoes kids how emotions may be more in their control than they realize.
Part of the Elephant and Piggie Like Reading series, this early reader is a philosophical joy. Yellow Bird has a button that does absolutely nothing, or does it? He shows it to Red Bird and Blue Bird. When Blue Bird tries the button, it surprises him. And that’s not nothing! It doesn’t surprise Red Bird, which makes Blue Bird sad, also not nothing. Then Yellow Bird gets angry at their responses, which is also not nothing. Soon the button can make them do lots of things, even get funny and silly....
In the third offering in the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! series, we meet three friends and their different reactions to a button. My words will not bring justice to how fun this book is. I can just picture how many giggling kids there will be when reading this!
The first thing I noticed after reading this was there were no conjunction words. It is instead of it's. I cannot instead of I can't. That's because, at this level of reading, students don't know about the joining of two words. The facial expressions in this book are very detailed and that is because kids at early reading levels can associate the facial expressions with the words. This book was about a button that had no meaning, it did nothing. But what three friends soon found out was that the...
This book is a hoot! Fans of Elephant and Piggie will enjoy this humorous story of three birds who react over the pushing of a button--that does nothing...or does it? Introduced by none other than Elephant and Piggie, the story is enjoyed by them as well, and it leads Elephant into looking for his own button to push. Wonder where he will find one? Read and find out! A great book for early readers.
My four-year-old LOVED this book and talks about it all the time. Of the books in the new Elephant and Piggie spin-off series, this is the most like the original Elephant and Piggie books by a long shot.
Love this new reader! 😂
Funny plot, cute illustrations. Variety of emotions makes it fun to read out loud.
Theodore Geisel Award Winner 2017What a fun book! It's the second in the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading Series and it feels very much like a Mo Willems book. Great illustrations, fun story. I'm sure it will be a hit with young readers and it would make a great discussion for what kids think their SOMETHING-est is! Highly recommend this one.
Compare to the brilliance of "Not a Box". A great addition to the growing Elephant and Piggie Like Reading library.
I'm a big fan of Charise Mericle Harper, I loved her monster book, The Monster Show written long ago, her Fashion Kitty series, and her latest Crafty Cat title which goes from one pair of eager hands to another. I loved doing crafts when I was little, and the kids still love to make crafts in library class. The Good for Nothing Button didn't come alive for me until I read it to our kindergartens. They notice everything slipped into the pictures, the expressions on Red, Blue, and Yellow bird, the...
Mo Willems has fostered a love of reading in the minds for many over the years. Now, there is a branch-off series full of the same emotion and easy to read words between the covers, with this one written by Charisse Mericle Harper. Yellow Bird has a wonderful new toy, a button that does nothing. That’s fine, until Red and Blue Bird find much joy in pressing this button, which is surely something. Poking fun at Yellow Bird for falsely advertising this button, they laugh and giggle when they press...
My kids laughed so hard at this book. They were fighting over who got to hold this book so they would have a clear view of all the funny words and pictures. Much fun.
This was pretty cute. My 5-year-old LOVED it!
This book is about a yellow, red, and blue bird. The yellow bird finds a button that does nothing or so they think. They each take turns pressing the button, each time they press the button, they all feel differently about what happens. The yellow bird is convinced that it does absolutely nothing, but the red and yellow bird say differently. They say it gives them different kinds of emotions. An activity that could be done with reading this book is to get a button or something the kids have to p...
First sentence: Hey, look! It's Yellow Bird. Hi, Yellow Bird. Look what I have. WOW! Wowee! Wow! Wow! I cannot believe it! What is it? It is a BUTTON. A red button. Red is my favorite! What does it do? NOTHING! Nothing? Premise/plot: Gerald and Piggie are getting ready to read another book together: The Good for Nothing Button. (Elephant and Piggie star in the first few pages and the last few pages of this one.) Three birds (Yellow Bird, Blue Bird, Red Bird) try to decide what a button does--if
A subtle satire of millennial pile-on culture, device addiction, and the panopticon inherent in the internet of things, this dense page turner is like a Black Mirror episode written by Samuel Beckett. Stars Red Bird, Yellow Bird, and Blue bird; introduced by Elephant and Piggie.From the jacket copy: "Yellow Bird has a button. And it does . . . NOTHING! But when Red Bird and Blue Bird press the button. it does . . . SOMETHING!"
