2 New Beginning Reader Books You Don’t Want to Miss!

Uncategorized

My kids cannot put these brand new, beginning reader books down.

From giggles to full-belly laughs, my kids are in hysterics when we read these two books that are hitting shelves on September 20th. That’s why we are thrilled to partner with @disneybooks. They have brought two fun stories to life that I don’t want other parents to miss.  Grab your copy (or two or three!) for you and your kids.

Psst…you can also win these books for FREE at the bottom of the post. It doesn’t get better than that, right?!

Have You Heard About Elephant & Piggie?

If you haven’t heard about the series, Elephant & Piggie, these two characters LOVE to read.

In this 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.

Don’t miss out on these books – they are our new favorites!

We-Are-Growing

The First Book: WE ARE GROWING

This book has a hilarious take on talking about how growing up isn’t always the EASIEST.

Walt and his friends are growing up fast! Everyone is the something-est. But . . . what about Walt? He is not the tallest, or the curliest, or the silliest. He is not the anything-est! As a BIG surprise inches closer, Walt discovers something special of his own!

My kids cannot get enough of this book. It’s humor is spot on for little ones and the images bring this story to life. Be sure to grab this one the second that it hits the shelves!

The Second Book: COOKIE FIASCO

This book is like one big math problem for your kids to figure out right along side the characters!

Four Friends. Three Cookies. One Problem.

Hippo, Croc, and the Squirrels are determined to have equal cookies for all! But how? There are only three cookies . . . And four of them. . . What’s more, they need to act fast before nervous Hippo breaks all the cookies into crumbs!

Will your kids figure out this problem before the characters do??
