Hi Deborah, I do this when I do the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. Granted it's not the exact same situation you have, but those books have the pig with a "word bubble" above his head and the elephant too and without something you wouldn't know which animal was talking. I put [Piggie says: words here] and [Elephant says: words here] to show which animal is talking. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Heart of Lies by M. L.
