Customer Reviews

We love Gerald and Piggie books.

My girls, 7 and 5, love to read these books. They are cute and easy to read. The book itself was in very good condition. I plan to order more for them.

Grandkids ages 2-7 love this series!

My grandsons really enjoy the Elephant and Piggie books! In this one, Piggie has a surprise for Gerald the elephant. The only problem is that he has to wait, and Gerald does not like waiting! Gerald goes through several emotions while waiting, but Piggie keeps his cool. In the end Gerald finally gets his surprise and finds that it was worth waiting for. Kids love the simple illustrations and text, and Gerald’s outbursts can be rather funny! A good book to spark a conversation about how it is very hard to wait for things sometimes, but how it can also be worth it.

Great message, Beautiful illustrations

One of my favorite Elephant and Piggie books. The message, "waiting is not easy," is so relevant to my daughter. And the final illustration is really beautiful.
