My slightly wet little boy (he was spraying himself with a spray bottle of water he found) just brought me an Elephant and Piggie book to read. Reading a Mo Willems book was actually more important than a spray bottle. Clearly, this proves Mo Willems is a children’s book genius.
But seriously, my kids love Mo Willems’s book. All of them. Timmy is totally fascinated right now. He loves Elephant and Piggie. He loves the Pigeon. He wants me to read them to him and then he gets mad when I finish the book. Actually ticked at me for getting to the end.
I seriously think Mo Willems is one of the best kids writers out right now. His books have a perfect blend of characters, plot, age-appropriate writing, and humor (they’re fun for adults to read, too). They are great books for early readers. My kids memorize the words (Megan “read” one of them to Timmy today). Timmy loves the characters and the actions.
Seriously, Mo Willems is a really great writer. If you haven’t already, introduce your kids to his crazy world!
