Nicely illustrated. Never knew about elephant and piggie books but if they're all similar to this one not sure if we'll read any others. It's a good book but not that great.

Wow! Mo Willems has outdone himself with a great new easy reader series. I looooooove Elephant and Piggie. And this one is particularly hilarious. His illustrations are perfect for an easy reader, because with limited (and repetetive) text, children will know immediately what is going on in the story. Look for more titles!

This was really cute and funny and is probably the longest book Galen has read so far! (I’ll have to go back and add the others.)

Also. Elephant’s name is Gerald?!

My kids love this book, like every book I've ever read to them by Mo Willems. His writing is kid magic.
