A funny book for youngsters

A superexcited swine is invited to a bash in this totally wacky storybook.

Three year old laughing histerically

My daughter just received this book as a birthday present. I read it to her once before nap today. When she woke up we read it again. Before bed she wanted to read it again. On the third reading she starting cracking up laughing every time I read the "Wait!" line. She insisted I read it three more times laughing harder and harder each time. After we turned off the light, she begged for me to read it just one more time in the dark. She has never asked for that before. After that time, she asked if we could read it as soon as she wakes up in the morning. Of course I said YES! She had a similar response to "Dont let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," but not that intense. We cant wait to get more Piggie books!!

great books

The elephant and piggie books are some of the favorites in our house right now. My kindergartener loves them, and they are just very enjoyable books for everyone. The illustrations are wonderful and really add to the story.

Attention K/1 teachers!

I Am Invited to a Party! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) (Elephant and Piggie) This book is so hot in my K/1 class that I ordered 4 more. Several of my students take copies of this and the other Elephant and Piggie books home to read and reread every night. Parents have written notes in the home reading logs that their kids read in animated voices and thoroughly enjoy every minute of the book together. I've already preordered the next two Elephant and Piggie books for my classroom. Mo Willems may be the next Dr. Seuss in emergent reader excitement.

fun and readable

The Elephant and Piggie Books are fun for kids just learning to read and also very readable because of the word repetition, without being too boring because of the word repetition! My 5-year-old son loves being able to read it to anyone who will sit still and listen.
