“Can I Play Too is a book about friendship. When the pig and the elephant want to play catch, the little snake comes and asks if he can play too. Even though he doesn't have any arms, he tries to play with his friends but the ball (or balls) just keep hitting him square on the head. Once the little snake seems to have given up, the pig has an idea for how they can ALL play catch together. This would be a great book to read to kids about friendship and how to include everyone in the games we want to play. ”

“In this book, the main characters learn to play with a new friend who is different from them. In this case the new friend has no arms. This would be a great way to discuss making friends with people who are different. ”

“Mo Willems's "Elephand and Piggie" books are very popular, and this one is my personal favorite. You get a sense of Willems's impeccable timing and absurdist streak in the eponymous characters' attempts to first dissuade and then accommodate their snake friend, and it ends up being a great example of alternative solutions to issues raised by physical differences and disabilities.”

“This book is one of the cutest I've read. I love Mo Willems' books. This is a wonderful way to introduce kindness to people who are different to very young children.”

“This humorous story of how Piggie and Gerald take on a new friend in Snake, despite the fact that he cannot play catch the traditional way (given that he has no arms) is a great hook for emerging readers.
The use of dialogue, humor and expressions encourage young readers to want to learn how the characters solve their problem. It is an excellent text for teaching reading fluency and expression. The happy ending supports the theme that we can all be friends despite our differences.”

“Elephant and Piggie make a new friend while playing catch. The new friend, Snake, wants to play, too. But, how can an armless creature catch a ball? Readers will enjoy learning how the three characters cleverly play catch. This humorous tale of friendship with equally funny and expressive illustrations will capture and entertain all readers.”
