An Elephant & Piggie Biggie! (An Elephant and Piggie Book)

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!

My children loved the stories. They were funny and kept them fully engaged and listening, looking for me to turn the page. They wanted more.. and that was from two years old to seven years old. I was even laughing..Highly recommend!!!

This book is perfect for toddlers. It has cute , colorful illustrations and is easy to read. Text size is good. My 4 year old loves these stories. Being 5 books in 1 makes it great value for money. Good quality paper too. Highly recommend if you have toddlers.

My kindergartner LOVES these books! She was getting the standalone volumes from her school library, so I went ahead and bought her this volume with 5 stories. I will find her reading them to herself in the morning when she wakes up and she will beg to have her extra 15 minutes before lights out to read them at night! Easy words for a new reader to figure out and enough repetition to make them confident with new words.

My six year old granddaughter loves the Mo Willem Pidgeon books I bought for her (Five BIG stars in a separate review) and thought I would get her a big collection of the Elephant and Piggie books. She loved them! My little grand child is a voracious reader and will read and re-read all of her books and library books. The only thing I could say that could be considered a con is the volume is heavy and so new it is not easy to open the book all the way. That doesn't stop us. For the very little ones, this heavy book will be best read in your lap with child and book. For the older ones, like my granddaughter, she has no problem reading it on the floor. It's the delightful world that fills the book that matters most. Highly recommended.

My daughter and her husband love reading this to my grandson

My 5-year-old absolutely adores the Elephant & Piggie books! This collection with five stories in one book is her favorite — she loves flipping through and picking which story to read

I love the Elephant and Piggie books! I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had volumes like this, saving tons of money on the books!I got all 5 volumes in preparation for my baby being born and I look forward to her enjoying the books as much as I have.My wild bunch of nieces and nephews came over to meet my newborn and were far more interested in sitting and reading these books together. So it seems they're a crowd pleaser!
