Elephants Cannot Dance!-An Elephant and Piggie Book

My grandkids love these books! Fun story, cute pictures, cute messages. Highly recommend.

Just be warned once you buy your child one of these books, you will eventually have to get the whole set! Not sure what it is about these books, but my daughter is obsessed. I work in education, so I can say that it's very common. Once one of my students reads one book, they cannot wait to read the rest of the series! These are simple easy books with simple graphics. My daughter is a 2nd grader who reads at about a 5-6 level, and she absolutely loves these books. She reads them over and over, and it takes her about 2 minutes to read one full book. Each of these books has a subliminal life lesson as well. They focus on feelings, without making feelings an awkward subject. Highly recommend them, even if your child is an advanced reader...they will still love these. I initally felt like they were a waste of money because they're so easy for my daugter to read, but after I saw how much she genuinely loves them, they were worth every penny. She especially loves reading them to her little cousins and friends. They have a lot of expression (yelling, excited, ALL CAP WORDS, sighing, sadness, etc.) So they help my daughter practice her expressional reading where she reads without trying to speed read or sounding like a monotone robot! :)

Perfect for dance recital weekend. This series is our daughter’s current favorite and this fit the theme perfectly

These series of books are the best! My kids love them!

Mo Willems is a genius. These books are absolutely amazing!! The words are simple so new readers can read to an adult. The plot is humorous so adults do not bore when reading the same book every night for a month. The humor is enough for kids from 3-10 years old (which is difficult to find in new books.) I was able to read to a four year old and an eight year old at the same time every night. Both girls loved the books which was a huge blessing for this nanny because bedtime became easy. Willems was also able to sneak in important lessons for kiddos without them realizing it. I was able to use the stories to talk about different feelings, sharing, and many others. Well done Mo Willems well done!!

Mo Willems is a favorite in our house! The Elephant and Piggie characters are relatable for kids, and there’s some subtle humor that’s funny to me too when I’m reading with them. The books are great for emerging readers, there are lots of repeated words and the stories are engaging. There are few enough words on each page so that new readers don’t get overwhelmed and enough pages to make them feel like finishing a book is an accomplishment! Absolutely love every book in this series, elephants cannot dance included! Highly recommend to parents of preK through 2nd grade or possibly higher depending on your kid’s reading ability.

He is a FANTASTIC author. Our previous favorite was Knuffle Bunny and then we discovered the Elephant and Piggie books. My daughter began reading these in kindergarten and now reads aloud to us (making all of the character's voices). These books have heart and friendly messages and are loaded with humor. These would be a perfect gift for your child to find in the mail or to bring to a baby shower. They are definitely books that we will keep forever (along with our collection of Dr. Seuss books). Enjoy!

I really am going to have to write Mo Willems a letter and thank him for quadrupling my son's vocabulary. Between Piggie and Gerald, Knuffle Bunny and the Pigeon, he says new words all the time! This is a great book for parents to read (over and over again) since it's humorous. I really don't get tired of reading any of the Elephant and Piggie books. In this one Piggie tries to teach Gerald to dance but Gerald is always getting it wrong. Very fun to move hands and legs while reading. A great book!

Todos los libros de Mo willets son enseñanzas increíbles y divertidas para los más peques.

Les petites histoires de Gérald et Piggies sont vraiment très sympa. Mes filles adorent leurs aventures les dessins sont très expressifs et parlant. Je recommande

My kids love this series, its always lovely to find a good offer for a book.

Bel libro per imparare insieme ai propri bambini l'inglese

Great
