10 Times Elephant and Piggie Books Made Me Laugh Out Loud

From: Can I Play Too?

Snake wants to play catch with Elephant and Piggie. They shyly point out that he doesn’t have arms. He pretends to be shocked by this.

From: A Big Guy Took My Ball!

Elephant puffs out his chest and looks for the big guy who took Piggie’s big ball. The big guy turns out to be a blue whale. And he thinks the big ball is a little ball.

From: Happy Pig Day!

Piggie tells Elephant that she’s so happy, because it’s the best day of the year. Elephant guesses that it must be free ice cream day.

From: Let’s Go for a Drive!

They’ve already got the map, sunglasses, umbrellas, and bags for their drive. Then Elephant suggests that they probably need a car. Unfortunately, Piggie doesn’t have one, because “a pig with a car would be silly.”

From: Today I Will Fly!

A vicious dog scares Piggie into jumping on Elephant’s head. As soon as she jumps, he drops the act, smiles, and waves goodbye.

From: Should I Share My Ice Cream?

As Elephant thinks about sharing his ice cream with Piggie, he says, “Hmmm.” Over three pages, he adds more m’s, till he’s just saying, “mmmMMM!”

From: I Broke My Trunk!

Elephant does some pretty dumb things with his trunk, like using it to lift up his rhino friend. The best is when he throws the piano-playing hippo on top. (Nope, that’s not what breaks it.)

From: Waiting Is Not Easy!

Elephant is annoyed at having to wait all day for Piggie’s big surprise. He groans so loud that his speech bubble literally knocks her over.

From: I Am Going!

Elephant wants Piggie to stay and play Ping-Pong and wear silly hats. When he pulls out his wall calendar to show her other days she should leave instead, it has a picture of her playing Ping-Pong and wearing silly hats.

From: We Are in a Book!

Piggie realizes that she can make us (the readers) say any word she wants. So she picks “banana.” Elephant thinks this is so funny that he loses it for seven full pages.
