K-3Elephant & Piggie Book series.
While Piggie ecstatically explains why Happy Pig Day "is the best day of the year," Gerald feels increasingly dejected; he's not a pig so he doesn't belong. The story ends humorously as Piggie clarifies how Gerald can participate. Willems's masterful, spare illustrations focus on the characters' changing emotions and include some humorous surprises (see: costumed "pigs" at the end).
