We love Elephant & Piggie at our house, and were so excited to partner with Disney-Hyperion on a sponsored post to celebrate 10 years of the book series! We’re hosting an Elephant & Piggie party, so we’re sharing how we make these cute paper party lanterns for a darling decoration!
Can you believe these books have been around for so long?! Such a fun and silly series. The latest book in the bunch is called The Good for Nothing Button by Charise Mericle Harper.
“Yellow Bird has a button. It does . . . nothing! It is a good for nothing button.”
Red Bird and Blue Bird are excited to try the button. But when they press it, they discover that the button makes them happy. Happy is something! A flabbergasted Yellow Bird insists the button does nothing. But it sure does seem to be making him mad. Mad is something! The hilarious debate that follows takes readers on an emotional roller coaster that pokes at the power of imaginative play.
Aren’t buttons just sooooooo fun to push? See, there’s something :)
Here are 10 more of our favorite books, to celebrate 10 years!
