Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—An exciting thing is happening. The grass is growing! One blade grows tall, another grows curly, and two grow pointy. As these changes occur, the blades of grass declare what it is that makes them unique—all but one, that is. The last blade of grass has no distinguishing feature of note, and no matter how much the group wrack their brains, they can't figure it out. Then, the great equalizer, the lawn mower, comes along. It takes this event for the blade to discover his special quality. As for the rest, even though they are literally cut down, they are reassured that they will grow again. The empowering narrative can be applied to lessons regarding things like confidence, identity, and growing up. No matter the takeaway, the message is easily consumable, thanks to exaggerated characteristics, cartoonish actions, and a good sense of comedic timing. In this new series, Willems's popular characters share their favorite books, acting as the introductory and closing framework to the story. In this case, they have made an excellent choice. VERDICT Fans of Elephant and Piggie will devour this kooky easy reader, with its similar presentation and storytelling style.—Rachel Forbes, formerly at Oakville Public Library, Ontario, Canada

My son (5) loves the elephant and piggie books. We have them all. This one is amazing as well. He finds this book easy to read and entertaining. Easily a level 1 book for kids. Would recommend for younger kids as well. My 2yr old loves it and actually stays seated to listen to the entire book while his brother reads.

What a fun story! My family loves Mo Willems and his wonderful characters! Elephant, Piggie, and, of course, Pigeon! This book shows blades of grass, characters, of all shapes and sizes, growing. They grow all in their own unique way, and speed! Very sweet and clever story telling! My children are huge fans of the author, and now have a new favorite story!

5.0 out of 5 stars it gets kids learning how to use the superlative which is fun.: ) But more than anything

Our 4 year old loves this book. He likes to read along with us. For a language development perspective, it gets kids learning how to use the superlative which is fun. :) But more than anything, I like the premise of this book- the idea of kids growing together and owning their individuality. It's so cute! After reading, our son likes to point out the Pigeon in the very back among Elephant and Piggie (inside back cover).

4.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old likes it
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
I thought it was an Elephant and Pig book but it's not really. It's got about 5 total pages of Elephant & Pig saying how they're about to read a book about grass, and then it's just this book (which has nothing to do with Elephant & Pig).

It's not my favorite, but my 4 year old son really likes it so i guess i can't give it too bad of a rating.

It's a hard-cover book with "regular" paper pages.

Just like Mo Williems, Laurie Keller's writes so that the words flow out or your mouth easily and will entertain your child to the end. Illustration is well done too. Five stars for sure. I bought this for my daughter when she turned four since she's eager to continue to grow.

We have all of the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. We tried this one and it was just as good, if not funnier. My kids ask for this regularly. They love the funny voices that we make as we are reading this. It is funny, and it has a good message. What is there not to love?

This is such a cute book! It went nicely with my lessons on growth/growing and planting with my kindergartens. It’s also a nice story about how everyone is good at something. I definitely recommend this book for the littles! :)

My 2-year-old didn't like it. She never let me finish reading it and never picked it up again. I didn't like the illustrations either, nor the text. I didn't quite understand the good reviews.
