funny series submitted by fairytale on August 13, 2011, 2:34pm Funny series for beginning readers.

Cute submitted by Amber Kinder on June 15, 2013, 4:03pm Super cute and keeps kids' attention.

Rain fun submitted by Yanzhang on August 4, 2013, 12:24am My kid ia already go outside to play at rain day

Great book for kids! submitted by zoe.dvh on June 15, 2014, 9:26am This is such a great book for kids because it is easy and fun to read!:]

funny! submitted by 3rdwitch on July 26, 2014, 1:01pm it rains and Piggie doesn't like it and when it stops, she likes the rain.

Laugh out loud submitted by jackson.sarah.jean on June 20, 2015, 5:37pm This is a book where my kids laughed out loud. I love this book.

Fun submitted by jarroyo on June 24, 2015, 8:22am This is a fun book in the Elephant and Piggie books. This is an easy read, but entertaining.

Great book on dealing with disappointment submitted by beeniepie on July 3, 2015, 7:27pm This is a great book on how to make lemons out of lemonade. The friends have their hearts set on playing outside until it starts to rain. I love that they are able to figure out how to still have fun. Elephant and Piggie books provide silly and fun social stories.

wonderful submitted by lgpat on August 25, 2015, 7:29pm Don't miss this

Fun submitted by dorina on June 21, 2016, 9:52am I love the pig

good for early readers submitted by ashflowtuff on July 27, 2016, 10:26am The elephant and piggie books are great for beginning readers. And they are not terminally stupid like lots of other "reader" books.

Helping submitted by Maysie-library on July 7, 2017, 9:46am I'm 6, and I think its a really good book because it first had sun, then it rained, then piggie liked the rain, but then the rain stopped, and then Gerald helped by getting more rain by his trunk.

So good submitted by KOH on August 3, 2017, 4:59pm Mo Willems is the best. We love Gerald and Piggie!

rain can also be fun submitted by Claire Jiang on July 20, 2018, 3:26pm I think this book is saying that rain can also be fun. It s such a fun siries.

singing in the rain submitted by FordAlpha on August 13, 2018, 9:23pm The "Elephant and Piggie" books are well constructed, humorous stories for early readers, usually with a bit of a twist ending. Usually, Gerald the Elephant is cautious and fussy while Piggie is free-spirited and joyful, but here it's Piggie who nearly lets the weather ruin her fun. First, rain spoils an anticipated day in the sun; then, when Gerald and Piggie are thoroughly enjoying themselves in the rain, Piggie is peeved by the sun's return--until Gerald again finds a solution. This role reversal of the characters threw me off a bit, but of course my 6- and 4-year-olds didn't notice anything amiss!

Fun submitted by aamasud on June 23, 2019, 4:37pm Good funny book for kids

Outside! submitted by avrogers1 on July 12, 2019, 1:29pm This is a really cute storybook series for young readers. The illustrations are very simpl, but still cute. This book has them excited to go outside.

Fun submitted by TLW1998 on July 28, 2019, 6:10pm This is a fun book about playing outside until it rains, but they always find a way to make the best of it.

Kids Love It! submitted by alemmon100 on August 6, 2021, 10:58am Young children are drawn to the simple style of Mo Willems's Elephant and Piggie books. I've yet to find a child who doesn't love them!

Thanks AADL for buying more copies! submitted by rea2mill on July 7, 2022, 2:20pm If the above reviews haven’t yet convinced you this is a great book and that you should check it out and read it to your kid(s), then let’s look at the numbers. As of today when I’m writing this there are 52 copies of this book in AADL’s collection, and only 4 copies are available to check out, and probably many of the 48 people with this book checked out have this out for the second or third or possibly 20th time. The last time we checked this out we had to wait a while to get it. Thanks AADL for buying more copies of the Elephant and Piggy books!

rain. submitted by K.O on August 7, 2022, 8:35am there was rain and sun .

Playing outside is the best! submitted by crp on August 9, 2022, 1:58am Very sweet story that will keep your kid entertained! Playing outside is the best!

Family favorite submitted by courtneyhooper on August 10, 2022, 8:59pm There are books you don’t mind reading to your kids, and ones you LOVE reading to your kids. This is the latter!

A Favorite submitted by jgerman79 on August 17, 2022, 3:35pm Can't go wrong with Elephant and Piggie, but this one is top 3 with both my 6 year old daughter and I. Excitement, friendship, helping, fun, and a lesson all rolled into one!

Quick, funny submitted by michl8705 on August 18, 2022, 7:30pm Love the writing style and how quick and witty it is. A real winner for kids!

Best books for early readers! submitted by leea on August 26, 2022, 12:55am Grandkids love all Elephant and Piggie books.

Very funny story submitted by bears2567 on August 28, 2022, 2:08pm Very funny story, my kids love it

Great for emerging readers submitted by keldan315 on June 10, 2023, 11:06am My son found this series so engaging when learning to read, which was half the battle! A great place to start is having the child read one of the character’s lines while you read the other.
