Review This book makes me laugh. It’s very clever and will make both kids and adults laugh out loud, which is nice since the process of learning to read usually requires both age groups. It’s part of a series, which follows the many short, humorous adventures of these two friends, Elephant and Piggie. Their relationship is a great model for what makes great friendships. From my experience in a children’s library, I know that kids typically want to read every book in the series once they’ve stumbled upon one. There are speech bubbles and font size choices that encourage animated reading, as well, which adds to the dramatic fun for kids. I simply adore this series and think this is one of the strongest in the collection (Flock, 2017).
