Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

In this humorous outing, Gerald the elephant and Piggie debate whether or not "elephants can dance." Gerald, who is convinced that he cannot (he tells Piggie to look it up in the "What Elephants Can Do" book) decides to give it a go nonetheless. Results are mixed, with Gerald basically doing the opposite of each instruction. Willems's characteristically sparse cartoon images and the use of speech balloons portray the comical dilemma with clarity, making it an ideal pick for early readers. Ages 4-8.(June)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Can't go wrong with Elephant & Piggie!

    You can't go wrong with any of the Elephant & Piggie books by Mo Willems. The characters have such a personality and the drawings are so simple that the kids love them! I especially love this book and so do my students, Piggie is a riot and Elephant (Gerald) is so lovable. This was one of those "Read it again!" books that the kids ask to have repeated right away. The students loved mimicing the dance moves from Piggie and predicted how Elephant would react to Piggie. If you love the Elephant & Piggie series, this is definitely one to add to your collection. How can you not love those two friends?

    Summer Reading 2010

    I read it to my 5 year old daughter. I didn't like it. She was indifferent so we didn't buy the book. I would not reread this one.

    Mo's Done It Again

    Mo Willems uses animals to make apoint in all fo his books. Mo's done it again, and this time, it's an elephant that shows the way. It's not so much that elephants cannot dance as elephants usually don't dance becuase they do not try. For children, it's good to point out to them that they can do anything they want to, if they put their heart, soul, and nmid to it. Another winner in a very long line of boks for Mr. Willems. Go Mo!

    Elephants Can't Dance

    My granddaughter love this series; however, this book did not have a very interesting story. It was disappointing.

    I'm sure the children will love it!

    I'm a first grade teacher and my students always love Mo Willems's stories. This is an adorable story about trying hard and doing the best you can. It's not as funny or witty as "There is a bird on your head" or "Watch me throw the ball", but I'm sure my students will look forward to another one of their adventures.
