Mo Willems does it again!! "Elephant and Piggie" books are basically the best thing since sliced bread!! If y'all remember, Mo Willems is the same author who wrote the "Pigeon" books I talked about in an earlier post. I like "Pigeon" better than "Elephant and Piggie", but both are absolutely fabulous!
For my third semester in my Elem Ed program, I was put into a 1st grade classroom. First off, younger grade teachers are saints! Being with the youngsters is really really hard!I'm much better off with the older students! Secondly, "Elephant and Piggie" (both the books and the stuffed animals) was used almost every day to help these cuties understand different life skills like sharing, being a good friend, and telling the truth. "Elephant and Piggie" books are perfect to talk about those situations with young children. Older children love them too, but these are more suited for younger kids.
At Barnes and Noble they are no more than $10 per book (each book had a different price on it) and Amazon has them for as low as $5 used in good shape. Because these are so popular, they should have them at your local library too!! These are perfect for a class or home library. Go out and grab them now and let me know what you think!
Now, go and READ!!
