Review: My Five-Year-Old Twins LOVE These Books! - My five-year-old twins LOVE it when I read to them and they've been sitting through more and more stories lately, which makes this bibliophile mama so happy! We first heard about the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems from school (they are in 4K) since they are popular books in classroom libraries, along with the Pigeon books. We borrowed all of the them from our public library and my kids loved them so much that we are working on buying our own copies! I Broke My Trunk! is another wonderful book in the Elephant and Piggie series by acclaimed children's author Mo Willems. As usual, Elephant and Piggie are hilarious and the friendship between the two of them is perfect for young kids to read about. I'm not going to provide a synopsis of the book since I don't want to give the story away. You are going to want to buy this book. Buy all of the Elephant and Piggie books! Trust me! This book is a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book. It is a beautiful hardcover with thick, paperback pages so they will withstand many, many readings through the story (which will happen!). The book is 57 pages long. We can generally read these books in about five minutes. I cannot tell you how much our whole family enjoys these books! Even my husband and I find them hilarious! They are short stories and some pages only have a couple words on them but they are stories kids will want to read over and over again. My kids are even starting to read and these books have helped a lot. There are plenty of opportunities to spell words and point out sentences and pretty soon, your kids will be reciting them back to you. What an amazing thing to find a series of books that help your kids read! These books are perfect for the four to eight-year-old crowd but there is no reason kids younger and older wouldn't enjoy them either. Overall, buy this book. You won't be disappointed at all! Kids love Mo Willems and discovering these books has impacted my twins so much! They are wonderful stories of friendship with plenty of humor. We are Mo fans for life (or until my kids outgrow these books)!
Review: Another Elephant and Piggie Adventure - I have read the Elephant and Piggie books to kindergartners and first graders and they are ALWAYS a big hit. No Williams has created this wonderful series that children love. They are funny, surprising, and easy to follow. I have often recommended these books to parents and particularly grandparents who want to give the kids a gift. Even children three years old will be able to enjoy and understand this engaging books. A friend gave it to her six-year old grandson who didn't like books. This one was one he would pick up and try to read by himself. The subject matter can be about silly accidents, waiting, friends, pretending, sharing, planning an activity or just about any situation a young child might encounter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Advanced Readers Enjoy it too!
*by F***4 on July 25, 2018*

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! :)
