Let's Go for a Drive!-An Elephant and Piggie Book

I bought this for one of my new to English students who doesn't have books at home. He loves this series! It is 1st grade level but the humour was enjoyed by this 3rd grader. The author uses repetitive words and phrases which helpful to beginning readers but keeps the story moving and interesting. The illustrations are cute and the emotions of the characters are well depicted, giving new readers additional context clues. I highly recommend Mo Willems books for beginning readers and plan on purchasing more for a family member's child when she begins reading.

Family favorite books! They always make us giggle! My kids love piggie and elephant!

Elephant Gerald and Piggie embark on an enthusiastic adventure with one goal in mind: to go for a drive. The excitement builds as they meticulously plan every aspect of their journey, however, their plans take an unexpected turn when they realize they lack a crucial component for their drive - a car! Through Elephant and Piggie's escapades, young readers learn about the importance of adaptability, problem-solving, and friendship. 🤝 These themes are presented in a playful and accessible manner, making them easy for children to understand and apply in their own lives.

What can I saw but it's Gerald & Piggy.

The Elephant and Piggie books are perfect for early readers and their people. My six and seven year-olds recently got out a stack of books from this series and read them to my four year old. The text is simple, funny, and all in dialogue so each kid could read as one of the characters. I don't get tired of these books! They can be read with so much enthusiasm. Great for practicing reading aloud with expression. This particular book is one of my favorite ones.

My Son was given a Mo Williams book for his 3rd birthday.. He loved it..and laughed at the facial expressions that Elephant would make. I bought him more books, and he loves each one. My son just turned 6 these Mo Williams books are still his favorite books. Always asks me to read them to him. Still cracks up each time. They are very well written and very cute stories. The pictures are very clear and cute. Especially Elephant's expressions and what he says, makes my son laugh every time. Im using these books now to help him read, and he is reading well each time. Highly Recommend these books.. All of them.. :)

I started reading to my now toddler when she was still a baby. I was a bit bored by all the children's books until I discovered Mo Willems. Then, when she started comprehending a bit about what's going on on the page (first more in terms of pictures), this was a bit complex for her. She did, however, like Willems's Cat the Cat series at the time. Now she's 22 months old, and wow, she just LOVES Elephant and Piggy, and all the Pigeon books! (The Knuffle Bunny series has to wait a bit longer, probably for a year.) She asks me to read "the drive," "the rain" (are you ready to play outside), "the pigeon bath" etc. over and over again, and I am happy to indulge her wishes! So many children's books (surprisingly for me) have lazy rhymes or underwhelming illustrations, and sometimes confusing or even downright dangerous "messages," but Mo Willems keeps the storylines light and funny, and I never have to "adjust" my reading by changing the text. I'm so grateful we've discovered him early on!

My two year old loves this book!
