In terms of content, I would say they’re close to perfect: perfect length, perfect level of humour, and perfect depiction of the world and people within it. In my opinion, Willems has captured everything an early reader book should be: simple words, short sentences, lots of repetition, clear illustrations with plenty of clues…. Willems said his primary goal in writing the books was to create stories that were as funny and exciting as possible, despite their being early readers. So he’s well positioned to be writing early childhood literature, which is based on sound educational pedagogy. Mo Willems is a New York Times #1 best-selling author and illustrator who started his career on Sesame Street, where he garnered six Emmy Awards for his writing. Gerald worries a lot, which means that Piggie does not have to. Piggie is a joyful but not-so-careful pig. Every book in the series is ultimately about the everlasting friendship between Gerald the Elephant and Piggie the pig, and the humorous situations they find themselves in.

Mo Willems’ Elephant and Piggie series is a modern children’s classic, filled with hilarious storyline and plenty of simple, repetitive sentences overflowing with high frequency words.
