one-star

Peppa Pig and her family enjoy a picnic on a warm day. Pages alternate between the family making discoveries in the natural world and showing pages from Peppa’s nature book. The book lists ‘facts’ that science-loving readers may find underwhelming. The fact about turtles, for example, is “Turtles walk slowly. But they can swim very fast!”

The book ends when Mummy Pig, Peppa, and George find Daddy Pig, who had run off in fear of a wasp. This book will likely appeal to toddler-aged and preschool-aged fans of the show but is not recommended for libraries looking to expand their science or nature picture book sections.
