- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024I love the Elephant and Piggie books! I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had volumes like this, saving tons of money on the books!
I got all 5 volumes in preparation for my baby being born and I look forward to her enjoying the books as much as I have.
My wild bunch of nieces and nephews came over to meet my newborn and were far more interested in sitting and reading these books together. So it seems they're a crowd pleaser!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024"An Elephant & Piggie Biggie! Volume" is an absolute hit with all kids. The stories are engaging, funny, and filled with charming illustrations that capture young readers' attention. The simple text and repetitive structure make it a perfect starting point for easy readers. The friendship between Elephant and Piggie teaches valuable lessons in a delightful way. The collection is perfect for bedtime reading or independent exploration, making it a must-have for any child's bookshelf. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024I purchased books 1-3 when my children were 2&3 y/o. We read and re-read them. But when my children started to go to pre-kindergarten and transitional kindergarten, that is when these books were very helpful.
My children are starting to recognize words, trying to sound out words, etc. All 5 books are written to recognize words and help to imprint the words. The author uses the same words over and over to help my kids in recognizing them and really know the words.
All 5 books have very little words crowding each page. Each story is straight forward, building up to the climax and to the end of the story as if it is step by step. As in, if this happens then, immediately, next thing is this. Similar to recipe instructions.
My kids and I read 1 or 2 stories every night. More importantly we either laugh or “aww” after we finish the story. Best investment for us.

VICTOR URBINAReviewed in Mexico on November 7, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Gran libro con mensajes muy lindos
Me encanta toda esta serie, son 5 compendios o 25 libros individuales. Los mensajes son muy lindos y los diálogos son muy simples, eso le da más autonomía a los niños que están aprendiendo inglés, permitiéndoles leerlo por ellos mismos y ganando confianza el aprendizaje del idioma. Y como lo mencioné al principio, los mensajes son muy valiosos: amor, amistad, empatía. Son muy buenos libros, ampliamente recomendables, diría que hasta los 8 años aún son buena opción.
