So emotional submitted by aklute on June 19, 2014, 12:07pm It's amazing how such a simple book can convey so much emotion. It actually makes me tear up at the end everytime I read it and I'm an adult :)

Pig and elephant story’s submitted by livi1110 on July 12, 2019, 7:47am I used to love when I was a kid. I read them when I had a chance at my school library.

Happy Pig Day submitted by avrogers1 on July 12, 2019, 1:34pm This is a really cute storybook series for young readers. The illustrations are very simpl, but still cute. This book has them celebrating a pig day!

Great submitted by TLW1998 on July 28, 2019, 6:40pm Happy Pig Day! I love Mo Willems books.

Everyone's a pig? submitted by FordAlpha on August 8, 2019, 10:00pm I love the "Elephant and Piggie" books; they're engaging and fun for early readers, and the characters are relatable. This one, however, is a little weird for me. Celebrating pigs is great and all, but does everybody really need to BE a pig to celebrate pigness? And the idea is sort of redundant with "I Really Like Slop." When does Elephant Gerald get to celebrate being an Elephant?

Great book submitted by singleka on June 12, 2020, 6:48pm Excellent book for beginning readers.

Happy submitted by Anthany on July 14, 2020, 8:26am Have pig day

Way too short for an adult mystery/horror/thriller novel submitted by Hslee on August 14, 2020, 5:34pm Pennywise never even appeared in this book and the word blood or scream never even appears here. Are those pigs supposed to stand for the children? I'm disappointed in you, Stephen King.

Great Elephant and Piggie submitted by Bookeepers on July 11, 2021, 8:37am One of our favorite elephant and piggie books.

Happy pig day submitted by alagzn on July 31, 2021, 9:55am Happy pig day

happy pig day submitted by VanCancue on August 23, 2021, 12:00pm Gerald feel a little left out on Happy pig day. will he be included?

Thanks AADL for buying more copies! submitted by rea2mill on July 7, 2022, 8:02pm 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 49 copies of this book in AADL’s collection, and only 1 copy is available to check out, and probably many of the 48 people with this book checked out have this out for the second or third (yeah, I think we’ve borrowed this 3 times now) or possibly 20th time. I think 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!

Costumes, dancing, singing submitted by trina05 on July 9, 2022, 11:07pm Oinky, Oink, Oink! It’s a Happy Pig Fay for all after a little introduction and making sure everyone feel included

Great Gerald and Piggie book submitted by GSchne on July 23, 2022, 8:32pm It's your typical elephant and piggie book with short, easy to read words. This one provides a nice opportunity to talk about how it feels to be left out.
