It is clear at this point that this could not be happening in real life, but if readers look carefully they can notice that there were clues that this was a dream from the beginning. Soon it is revealed that all of this snoring nonsense occurred in Elephant’s dream when Piggie begins to float.Įlephant then begins to hallucinate images of Piggie with a turnip head. He uses smaller descending words to demonstrate Piggie falling into a deeper quieter sleep, contrasting this with colorful large typography for his loud snoring outbursts. Willems also does a great job of using the typography to give the readers clues as to how they should read the text aloud.
In addition to this on some pages he uses additional elements to convey emotion, such as a soft glow used to represent the warmth of friendship when Piggie joins him. Willems simple characters convey lots of emotion though their facial expressions (eyes, mouth, etc.). He is soon joined by Piggie who wants to take a nap with him. This book tells the story of a cranky Elephant who goes to take a nap. I Will Take a Nap! by Mo Willems is part of the Elephant and Piggie collection.
