It never fails to amaze me how complex and entertaining a story Mo Willems can create from such simple, insightful pictures and so few beginning reader words. My 4 year-old daughter and I love all of the Elephant and Piggie books. Piggie comes to the rescue just in time for the two friends to share not only ice cream but the joy of true friendship as well. should he gobble it up or share it with Piggie? By the time Gerald's conscience finally wins out over his stomach, alas, his ice cream has melted! But all is not lost. Elephant and Piggie make brief cameo appearances to bookend these new stories.Ī musical has been produced based on the Elephant and Piggie books.Gerald has a delicious ice cream cone. Since then, Willems has developed a series called Elephant and Piggie Like Reading!, which features pictures books by other authors. In August 2015, Willems announced that the 25th book in the series would be the last. Two books in the series have been listed on Time magazine's Top 10 Children's Books of the Year: Today I Will Fly! (ranked #2 in 2007) and Elephants Cannot Dance! (ranked #5 in 2009). There Is a Bird on Your Head! and Are You Ready to Play Outside? won the Geisel Medal in 20. Books are added to the series on a roughly quarterly schedule, with two books occasionally released on the same day.
The books often address issues of friendship. The books are written in conversational style with Piggie's words appearing in pink letter bubbles and Gerald's appearing in grey letter bubbles. The series, which debuted in 2007 with two books, is done in a comic book style, and features two friends: an elephant named Gerald, and a pig named Piggie. Elephant and Piggie is a book series for early readers created by Mo Willems.
