Quiz: Are You More Elephant or Piggie?

If you’re a fan of the Mo Willems, Elephant, and Piggie, you know they’re more than early readers that teach kids simple vocabulary like “big” and “small.” They are complete stories that help young readers understand the concepts of beginning, middle, end, drama and comedy, characters, plot, and dialogue. These slim, sparse books are filled with joy, energy, and intelligence that both kids and adults can love. After a good long run, Willems is bringing the series to a close with The Thank You Book. To celebrate, we’re taking a good long look in the mirror and contemplating the meaning of life…in other words: Are you more Elephant or Piggie? Take this quiz to find out!
