What to Suggest when all your Elephant and Piggie books are checked out

 What to Suggest when all of your Elephant and Piggie Books are Checked Out

If your library is anything like mine it doesn't matter how many Elephant and Piggie books you buy, there will not be a single one on your shelf all summer. These books are beloved by kids and adults alike for a reason. Lindsay Barrett, writing for Brightly reminds us that, "these titles delight readers in so many ways, from their expressive dialogue, positive messages, playful illustrations, and of course, the endearing characterization of the duo at the series' heart." But, don't fret! You don't have to send kids away empty handed! There are other fun options out there for those early reader Willems fans. 

Some suggestions from Barrett include Archie and Reddie by Candy James, Jack Blasts Off by Mac Barnett, and Croc and Ally by Derek Anderson.
