My husband, my daughter (just turned two years old), and I absolutely LOVE the Elephant and Piggie books. They are our all time favorite set, and we read them every single night before bed time.If you are not familiar with the Elephant and Piggie books, here is what you need to know.1.) Gerald (the elephant) is a boy and Piggie is a girl. They are both hilarious, and you and your child will grow to love them.2.) The text is in speech bubbles throughout all the stories. These are easy reads, with few difficult vocabulary words for even the youngest readers. These are only a few words on most pages. I highly recommend previewing one or more books before purchasing.3.) They are funny. Most books have a clever twist at the end that everyone gets a kick out of.4.) They look terrific as a set. We own all of the books, and they look great lined up on our bookshelf. The book covers are very nice and sturdy. These are actually the ONLY books we've ever purchased new (all others were gifts or thrift store finds. We are penny pinchers, but these books are WORTH the dollars as they are terrific and look awesome).If you ARE familiar with the books, here's what you need to know about THIS book.1.) This is one of the sillier Elephant and Piggie books. I feel like most of them have great take away messages that inspire kids and teach good morals. This one lacks that -- it is just plain funny.2.) Piggie and Elephant appear equally in this book as they try to surprise each other. Two squirrels also make guest appearances.3.) This book really showcases how sensible Piggie is, and how anxious and nervous Gerald is all the time. This is one of the books that really showcases terrific character development.
