We Are in a Book!	comment	We Are in a Book! is a children's book in the Elephant & Piggie series, written by Mo Willems.In this installment, Elephant Gerald and Piggie are just sitting around as they often do, when Gerald suddenly realizes that they are being watched. Piggie quickly figures out that they are being read, by a reader, and that they are in a book. Comic hijinks ensue, until Piggie tells Gerald that the book is going to end, which throws Gerald into a panic.Compare the famous Sesame Street book The Monster at the End of This Book, which had a similar concept.
