My 2 and 4.5 year olds love this book. It is one of their favorites and never fails to make them laugh. It's a must have.

Themes: friendship, caring
Content areas: early reading -repetitive language, writing - punctuation, Art - expression
Quick teacher/parent read aloud or early reader. For older primary students (2nd) this humorous tale is perfect for quick draw responses. Adults will crack-up too!

Easy Readers are kinda a pain to deal with. You want to hold your kid's attention naturally (they won't want to read a boring book, and who can blame them?) while teaching them something, and you want them to want to read the book again. Reading a book more than once increases their understanding. (Plus, you probably don't have enough cash to buy enough books for your kid to read them each one time only.)
This is a tough sell. Kids don't want to read "books" that are nothing but thinly done excuses for teaching "-at" words, or practicing their first Dolch list. They want to read literature! Not baby books! And you're holding them back! (And then they open up literature and get frustrated. You just can't win.)
Well, forget all that. Elephant and Piggie is your solution.
These books are definitely easy. They have few words, and a lot of repetition of the words they have. (They're told in (very funny) dialog, and for humor one character often repeats another's sentence verbatim. "There is a bird on your head." "There is a bird on my head???")
But they're also FUNNY. I'm a grown-up, I see these jokes telegraphed a mile away, and I still crack up reading them.
And the illustrations! Just enough to help the cautious reader... but not so detailed that the reader can depend entirely on them to tell the story. No, you have to read the words.
These books are wildly funny, and they're educational. Your kid will read them to tatters. What more can you ask?
My favorite part of this book has to be Piggie's tears when the eggs hatch. Awww.
This is what my first grade students have to say about the book. February 4, 2010

IN the book There is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems Gerald has a bird on his head. He does not like it. Piggy tries to tell him it is ok. I like this book because it reminds me of My Friend is Sad when the bird goes on the Piggies head. I think if you like funny books you will definately like this one. It is a hillarious book because Gerald goes AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I like this book because it is by Mo Willems and all his books I like. If you like funny you will like Mo Willems.

Great for Beginner Readers December 10, 2009
S. Canada (New York)
If your child is a beginner reader, this is a great book to start with. Each page has just enough words and illustration that it wont overwelm them and they can read it independently. This book was one of the books suggested in my daughters summer reading program. Since I didnt have time to get it from the library, it was easier for me to order it through amazon. I have say I am glad I made that choice, because these books are keepers. My girls loved this book and some of the other elephant and piggie books I've ordered after this one. I agree with another reader, my girls will read anything, except books. Until elephant and piggie came into their lives that is.
