My daughter goes bananas for this series. She reads them
Over and over and over. She does voices and expressions and I love every time she reads them to me nightly.

Absolutely love it. I watch the read Aloud versions on youtube with my son. And I finally got the hard cover for all 5 volumes and they are just soo much fun and full of laughter if you read them in a character voice.

I have a vivid memory of reading an Elephant and Piggie book in Barnes and Noble at around the age of seven. I laughed so loud I was actually shushed, like in the cartoons. My ten-year-old kid brother adores these books. All five "Biggies" are stacked on top of each other near his bed. The pages are a little bent in some places from the excessive turning.
These books, like their Pigeon predecessors, are clean, wholesome, funny, and just plain adorable. I'm glad we have such an excellent author/illustrator in the business of children's picture books, because there is some weird stuff out there, let me tell you.
Honestly, I read Stephen King and still enjoy these things. Gerald and Piggie are such sweet friends.
My kid brother knows the books in the first and second "Biggies" by heart, and is currently memorizing this one and the others.
Thank you, Mr. Willems.
