What is Watch Me Throw the Ball! about?

Gerald the elephant thinks throwing a ball is a very serious skill. He wants to teach Piggie the proper way to do it, with careful practice and plenty of concentration. Piggie, however, has her own ideas. She throws, smiles and enjoys every moment, while Gerald tries to keep things orderly. As their lesson turns into a wonderfully silly game, the best friends discover that playing together matters more than getting everything exactly right. Even Gerald may learn to enjoy the fun.
