My husband, my daughter (just turned two years old), and I absolutely LOVE the Elephant and Piggie books. They are our all time favorite set, and we read them every single night before bed time., If you are not familiar with the Elephant and Piggie books, here is what you need to know., 1.) Gerald (the elephant) is a boy and Piggie is a girl. They are both hilarious, and you and your child will grow to love them., 2.) The text is in speech bubbles throughout all the stories. These are easy reads, with few difficult vocabulary words for even the youngest readers. These are only a few words on most pages. I highly recommend previewing one or more books before purchasing., 3.) They are funny. Most books have a clever twist at the end that everyone gets a kick out of., 4.) They look terrific as a set. We own all of the books, and they look great lined up on our bookshelf. The book covers are very nice and sturdy. These are actually the ONLY books we’ve ever purchased new (all others were gifts or thrift store finds. We are penny pinchers, but these books are WORTH the dollars as they are terrific and look awesome)., If you ARE familiar with the books, here’s what you need to know about THIS book., 1.) This is my FAVORITE Elephant and Piggie book. In fact, it is my favorite Mo Willems book! It may just be my favorite kids books. I get so excited when my two year old chooses this one to read., 2.) This book is the perfect combination of silliness and good lessons. It is definitely funny, as Piggie gets ready to celebrate a day made just for pigs. However, it also teaches great lessons to little ones. Piggie can certainly celebrate where he came from, but it is important not to exclude those that are different from you (i.e. non-pigs in this book). It shows Elephant expressing how he doesn’t feel welcome, and it shows Piggie showing how to include his friend in his fun. Overall, great lessons that are hilariously expressed., Bottom line -, BUY ALL THE ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE BOOKS!

Just be warned once you buy your child one of these books, you will eventually have to get the whole set!, Not sure what it is about these books, but my daughter is obsessed. I work in education, so I can say that it’s very common. Once one of my students reads one book, they cannot wait to read the rest of the series!, These are simple easy books with simple graphics. My daughter is a 2nd grader who reads at about a 5-6 level, and she absolutely loves these books. She reads them over and over, and it takes her about 2 minutes to read one full book., Each of these books has a subliminal life lesson as well. They focus on feelings, without making feelings an awkward subject. Highly recommend them, even if your child is an advanced reader…they will still love these., I initally felt like they were a waste of money because they’re so easy for my daugter to read, but after I saw how much she genuinely loves them, they were worth every penny., She especially loves reading them to her little cousins and friends. They have a lot of expression (yelling, excited, ALL CAP WORDS, sighing, sadness, etc.) So they help my daughter practice her expressional reading where she reads without trying to speed read or sounding like a monotone robot! 🙂

My three kids — ages six, four, and two — love Mo Willems books. This is another great read to add to their daily digest.

My toddler love this story. He is now getting into this series of books of Gerald and Piggie from Moe Williams. Each little story has a message and I like that.

We have a nearly 3 yr old grandson who is almost ready for this book, but we also got it to read to early elementary grades, for whom we read every week as volunteers.
