Happy Pig Day!-An Elephant and Piggie Book

7yo loves these books! It was a Christmas gift and she immediately read them time & time again. Great to pass on down to siblings as well. Easy to read for beginners.

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!

Great First Reader book series. Perfect for a 1st Grader, age 6, to practice reading. Also good for younger children to be read to. This one is about emotions - happy and "crabby" themes. Hard cover book is well made - quality paper and properly bound. I highly recommend!

These books are always a great choice for new readers. They never disappoint. This time it was the birthday book and it was my granddaughters bday too

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! :)

We love elephant and piggy books!! We got this one as a gift. The whole family loves these from my 2yo to my 8yo. Great for early readers and so silly for the big kids. It’s so great to have the family read them together bec it’s giggles on giggles!

What a fun book! My 7 year old grandson wanted it… and we had great fun when he read it to me!! And it even arrived early!

This was a Valentine gift for our daughter. SHE LOVES THIS STORY! We have one other Piggie and Gerald book (Waiting Isn't Easy). And she loves that one too, so I had a feeling this would be a hit. It is Pig Day and Piggie is so excited to tell Gerald all about it. But Gerald starts to feel left out because he has a trunk, and big ears, and is grey and is not pink. But Piggie explains that Pig Day is for anyone who loves pigs! And they end up celebrating together. Our toddler especially loves how much they say "Oinky Oink Oink!" (which is "Happy Pig Day!" in Pig). The nice thing about these books is that the talking bubbles are pink for Piggy and grey for Gerald, so our daughter knows by looking at the book, who is saying what. And when the characters are excited or yelling, the font gets really big. Or if the are sad or upset the font is really small. We plan to add more Piggie and Gerald books to our collection!

J'adore les livres de cette collection piggie and Gérald deux amis qui vivent de belles aventures. Les dessins sont très expressifs et parlant. Meme si votre niveau d'anglais est débutant vous pouvez le lire facilement. Mes filles adorent Je recommande

These are the best books! My son is 7 and loves them. They are funny and so cute.

Muito bom

La verdad es que todos los libros de Mo Willems nos encantan y este no es la excepción! Precioso libro!

Precio justo, buena encuadernación, como todos los libros de esta saga son entretenidos, con letras grandes, fáciles de entender. son ideales para niños que inician a leer.
