We found our first Elephant and Piggie Book when my oldest was in Kindergarten, I think, so around 2010. There were probably about 12 books out at that point. All 3 of my boys loved to listen to them and could even start sounding out words and reading them when they were first learning to read. (Though these books are easy to memorize, so after a few reads they’re not really sounding out words anymore.)
We have followed these books over the years and I think we’ve read all of them. We just checked out Mo Willems’ last book in the series, The Thank You book (#25).
This book does not disappoint. It’s just as funny as the other books and my 5 year old daughter has requested me to read it several times since we checked it out.
If you want to read more news about the Elephant & Piggie books, you can look at the author’s blog.
In fact, there are lots of fun ideas for celebrating Thank-o-rama month at this new website. So start thanking away.
We’d like to thank Mr. Willems for writing such fun, colorful, and witty books to be enjoyed by the whole family! Thank you Mo Willems.
