Made popular by the TV show, Peppa Pig is the darling in the world of 2-5 year old girls.  Peppa Pig enjoys watching over her toddler cousin who she is trying to teach to talk.  Sure the characters are pigs but the storyline is realistic and somewhat sweet as the children play well together and interact with all family members.

There is a cuteness about Peppa and her family, the simple illustrations express emotion and depict typical family bonding.  Colors (other than the pink pigs) are appealing and vary from page to page.   There is reason for young listeners and readers to request this book as a bedtime story.  Although books created from TV shows are not always among the best selections this is a satisfying read for its intended audience.  Gift to families with young girls and consider for nursery school collections.
