Elephant & Piggie is a children's book series created by Mo Willems. The series, which began in 2007 with two books, features two anthropomorphic animal friends, a male elephant named Gerald, and a female pig named Piggie. The books are written in a conversational style, with Piggie's words appearing in pink letter bubbles and Gerald's appearing in grey letter bubbles. The series aims to teach early readers about the importance of friendship, and how to deal with life's problems. The books highlight how friendship is not always easy, but it is very important. The books exhibit simple vocabulary, repetition of phrases, and basic mathematical concepts to facilitate early reading. The series helps readers understand emotion. When the elephant is sad, the reader can tell on his face. The reader can also tell through the small font. When a character is happy, the text is larger. The Elephant & Piggie series includes 25 books. Since then, Willems has developed a series called Elephant and Piggie Like Reading!, which features picture books by other authors. A musical has been produced based on the Elephant and Piggie books. Elephant & Piggie have also made visits to libraries around the world, including Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) so that children can interact with the characters. The series has sold millions of copies, making it one of the most popular early reader series ever written, which many attribute the sense of humor throughout the series to its rise to fame.There Is a Bird on Your Head! and Are You Ready to Play Outside? received the Geisel Medal in 2008 and 2009.
