Hope you're good at voices 
2008-08-30
I laughed out loud the first time I read it. After the 3rd or 4th time, I just couldn't get into it any more. Maybe because my daughter isn't reading it herself yet, athough it shouldn't be a problem to memorize. I think it would be more enjoyable if you are good at giving the two characters distinct voices.
Funny and fun to read

I bought this for my daughter, who was on the verge of reading. She loved the story, and through the repetition in the dialogue, learned the words. This was the first book she read to me all the way through. And even adults can appreciate the humor and drawings.
Three year old laughing histerically 2008-07-20
My daughter just received this book as a birthday present. I read it to her once before nap today. When she woke up we read it again. Before bed she wanted to read it again. On the third reading she starting cracking up laughing every time I read the "Wait!" line. She insisted I read it three more times laughing harder and harder each time. After we turned off the light, she begged for me to read it just one more time in the dark. She has never asked for that before. After that time, she asked if we could read it as soon as she wakes up in the morning. Of course I said YES! She had a similar response to "Dont let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," but not that intense. We cant wait to get more Piggie books!!

The elephant and piggie books are some of the favorites in our house right now. My kindergartener loves them, and they are just very enjoyable books for everyone.
The illustrations are wonderful and really add to the story.

The books feature two lovable and funny characters: an optimistic (andsometimes reckless) pig and a cautious, pessimistic elephant.Children whosat on their parents' laps to have Pigeon read to them will eagerly takethe plunge with these books to start reading on their own.Each book hasbeen vetted by an early learning specialist.These sweet and surprisingstories are a much-needed breath of fresh air in the early reader arena.In I Am Invited to a Party!Piggie is invited to her first party.Shedoesn't know what to wear, though, so she asks her best friend Elephant forhelp.Elephant's advice is odd to say the least, so Piggie will try on allsorts of zany outfits before finally arriving at the party for a hilarioussurprise.
fun and readable 2007-11-29
The Elephant and Piggie Books are fun for kids just learning to read and also very readable because of the word repetition, without being too boring because of the word repetition! My 5-year-old son loves being able to read it to anyone who will sit still and listen.
