Peppa Pig fans will enjoy this installment as the pig family has an earth day adventure.  The family plans to go to the botanical gardens and Peppa and George do their chores before they go.  They sort the recycling and talk about what goes in the compost bin.  The family even has an electric car, named Roger.  They pass the windmill field, visit the wildflower garden and learn about bees. On the way home the family is stopped by police because Daddy lets the car drive itself and he doesn’t have his hands on the wheel.  Roger, the car, shows the officers it’s driver’s license.  This story would be useful for preschools talking about Earth Day.  The characters and artwork are taken from the animated TV series which is on Nick Jr.
