What Parents Need to Know
This review of There Is a Bird on Your Head! was written by Patricia Tauzer
Parents need to know that this is another one of the very funny books in Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series. Kids will laugh themselves silly when reading it.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about and play the two main characters. Members in the family can take the part of Gerald the elephant, or his friend Piggie, and act out this story, which almost sounds like a Laurel and Hardy comedy routine. Beginning readers can handle the text, and everyone in the family will love the expressively comic drawings.

Book Summary
Is It Any Good?
The language is simple and repetitive enough for beginning readers to enjoy. And the humor will hold their interest while they struggle with the harder parts. This book is so much fun that even struggling readers will want to read it over and over again, especially if they are able to share parts with another reader. And, happily, this is only one of several in the Elephant and Piggie series.

Great book for my 2 year old!
Easy to keep my 2 year old son's attention. He asks for this book time and again! Great drawings! I recommend for any age, but particularly for 2 years and up, as they are beginning to understand some of the concepts and terms in the book - like "love."
