An Elephant & Piggie Biggie! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) Hardcover – Picture Book, May 2, 2017

Great book for all ages. Very funny stories. Very loveable characters. The only thing I don't like is the pages are hard to turn. They're thick and rough so you almost have to pick your fingers to turn them.

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!

Large Book and the grandson loves reading these.

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!!!

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!

Love, love, love these books. I definitely recommend these! Great purchase

If you've already enjoy Elephant and Piggie and you're on the fence about this one in particular, hop off immediately and buy the book. Even if you have one or two of the stories, this format is great since it's compact and it's cheaper than buying the books separately.If you haven't read Elephant and Piggie, you're in for a treat. Mo Willems is an amazing author and illustrator. My 6 year old loves these stories, and he WANTS to read them all the way through, unlike most other books. He usually reads Piggie and I read Gerald. The books are great for teaching how to read with emphasis (words in uppercase or italics) and emotion. The illustrations are a lot of fun and Mo Willems is a master of illustrating emotions on the characters. I have just as much fun reading the books as my son does, and that rubs off on him.I bought all 3 of the "Biggie" books. So far we've read all of 1 and 2. IMO there are 1 or 2 that are better than the rest in each book, but all of them are entertaining. The Biggie books also have fun intros to each story, which we have a good time with. I could go on but you have better things to do, like buy and read this book.

My daughter and her husband love reading this to my grandson
