"An Elephant & Piggie Biggie! (An Elephant and Piggie Book)" is a delightful and entertaining collection of Mo Willems' beloved Elephant and Piggie stories. As a parent and avid reader to my children, I've had the pleasure of experiencing these books, and here's my review:
Pros:
Engaging Stories: Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series is renowned for its engaging and humorous stories. These books are a fantastic choice for young readers, as they are both entertaining and educational.
Simple Language: The language used in these books is simple and accessible for early readers. It's perfect for children who are just beginning to read independently or for parents reading aloud to their little ones.
Expressive Characters: Elephant and Piggie are two of the most endearing and expressive characters in children's literature. Their emotions and personalities shine through in the illustrations and dialogue, making it easy for children to connect with the stories.
Positive Themes: The stories often revolve around themes of friendship, problem-solving, and empathy. They offer valuable life lessons in an approachable and relatable way.
Sturdy Hardcover Format: "An Elephant & Piggie Biggie!" typically comes in a hardcover format, which is durable and can withstand the wear and tear of repeated readings by young hands.
Cons:
Size and Weight: This collection, being a compilation of several books, can be quite large and heavy for small children to handle on their own. It might be more suitable for reading together with an adult.
Not Enough New Content: If you already own individual Elephant and Piggie books, you may find that there is some overlap in content with this collection. However, having multiple stories in one volume can be convenient for on-the-go reading or for those new to the series.
In summary, "An Elephant & Piggie Biggie!" is a fantastic addition to any young reader's library. Mo Willems' stories are a joy to read and offer valuable life lessons wrapped in humor and heart. The book's sturdy format ensures longevity, making it a cherished part of childhood reading experiences. Whether your child is an emerging reader or you simply enjoy sharing quality books together, this collection is a wonderful choice.

My Twins Love Mo Willems' Stories!
My five-year-old twins started school this past fall and we've been introduced to a number of new books that we hadn't heard before. I hadn't heard of Mo Willems before they went to school (Why? I don't know.) but now we have built quite a collection of his books. I saw this book in a bookstore about a month ago and figured it would be a great addition to our collection since we didn't have any of the books. I ended up ordering it from here since it was a much better price.An Elephant & Piggie Biggie! is a compilation of five stories written by wonderful and hilarious children's author, Mo Willems. The stories are funny, include lovable characters, and teach valuable lessons in a gentle way that kids really enjoy. The stories included in this book are : Today I Will Fly!, Watch Me Throw the Ball, Can I Play Too?, Let's Go for a Drive!, and I Really Like Slop! This is a hardcover book with the paperback pages and it's the same as the individual stories, just five times as big! There are 309 total pages and each story is roughly 57 pages. There are a lot of pages but each page generally has one or two sentences.My kids were so excited when this arrived in the mail! Elephant & Piggie are always popular in our house and my kids will stop what they are doing when I pull out these stories. I love the funny stories and drawings and I look forward to reading them to my kids. These are popular in classrooms because of the gentle lessons they teach and they hold active kids' attention! We are building our collection of these books and this book took care of several of them. It's a thicker book so it's harder to hold but I feel the value is worth it.This book would make a wonderful gift for boys and girls in the preschool to elementary age range primarily but I'm sure other kids would enjoy them as well. I highly recommend stories by Mo Willems and this book is a wonderful addition to our collection!
