Mo Willems is a Comic Genius October 31, 2008
Mo Willems is a comic genius, and this book may be his best yet. If you love Dr. Seuss, and feel sad that the whole "Beginner Books" line seems to have died out, then you will celebrate Mo Willems's entire Elephant and Piggie series. They are perfect for pre-readers and beginner readers alike. I don't know another author working this form as brilliantly as Willems. He now joins the hallowed pantheon of great beginner book author/illustrators inhabited by Dr. Seuss, P. D. Eastman, and the fantastic illustrator Roy McKie!
Excellent toddler book! October 12, 2008

My daughter loves this book! Never fails to get lots of belly laughs. The text in the thought bubbles is really secondary to the telling of the story that goes on via the drawings of Elephant and Piggie. This has been a bedtime favorite for some time and still has not gotten old - highly recommended!
Mo Willems should be declared a National Treasure! September 18, 2008

Mo Willems is a genius. These books work like a classic Warner Brothers cartoon; working on two levels simultaneously. There's simple sight-gag humor for the kids; and sly, subtle humor for the grownups. The sparse but extremely expressive artwork is a joy to behold and study. My 4 year old daughter encounterd this book in a library while on vacation this summer. We all find the book and all the others in the series to be excruciatingly funny! We read the books aloud; I play Gerald, and my daughter plays Piggie. (I also do any other minor characters) We read the dialogue in a huge, over-the-top, melodramatic fashion, doing our best Mel Blanc/Daws Butler impressions, and act out the physical bits where we can... She just dissolves into fits of hysterical laughter... We have all of the Piggie books now, and several of the "Pigeon" series too. I cannot recommend the works of Mo Willems highly enough!
Another great book, by a great author.... September 13, 2008
One of my daughter's favorites and mine. It's great for laughs and pre-school kids will love it! I'm a huge fan of Mo Willems and of course this is a hit in our home, 5 STARS!!
Toddler (and mom) Love it! July 17, 2008
My 3.5yo daughter absolutely loves this book. She will recite a line from it to me and we'll go back and forth "playing out" the story. I just mention "there's a bird on your head!" and she will fall into fits of giggles.
My 2yo son was not as interested (though if it doesn't have construction trucks or diggers, etc, he's not interested either). I think as he gets older he will appreciate the humor and story.
Cute story & I bought more based on the success of this one. I recommend to my friends w/similar aged kids.
