This summer, I was excited to announce that I was a brand ambassador for the awesome author, Mo Willems! I’m continuing with another post about his new reading program called Elephant & Piggie Like Reading. I received an awesome package that included the first two books that are part of this special series: We are Growing and Cookie Fiasco. In the package were also some sweet cookies and adorable finger puppets. What a fun package to arrive on our doorstep!
ELEPHANT & PIGGIE LIKE READING!
A new beginning-reader series created by Mo Willems!
Best friends Elephant and Piggie introduce kids to their favorite books – brought to life in original stories created by contemporary children’s book authors and illustrators. Each 64-page beginning reader delivers a high quality reading experience that speaks to kids’ interests and abilities through stories that are fun and funny. The defining dialogue-driven format, established in the Elephant & Piggie series, unifies the collection with an active, participatory storytelling style that fans love. Plus, each book contains all-new Elephant & Piggie story bumpers!
The first two books in the #EPLR series hit shelves September 20th: We are Growing and Cookie Fiasco.

Growing up isn’t always the EASIEST
