Review

Peppa Pig is a TV show that is a big hit in the UK. There are also products, toys and such that are extremely well received. In this adventure, Peppa and his sibling George are going on vacation with Mom and Dad, but Peppa is very worried about her pet fish, Goldie, who is to be cared for by Grandpa and Granny Pig. Are they up to this demanding task? While the Pig family does lots of vacation-like things like going to the beach, taking walks, using the pool, and shopping for gifts for Grandpa and Granny Pig, Peppa continues to worry about Goldie. Will Grandpa and Granny pay enough attention to her? Perhaps they are paying too much attention to her. Hmmm.. The illustrations are digitally produced, soft, and full of many shapes and colors. One wonders if little ones looking at this book will notice what is taking place with Goldie back home. There are many titles offered of Peppa Pig and this addition will be another great one for picture book shelves everywhere. The only downside to this offering are the endpapers, which are navy with tiny white polka dots. They actually are painful to look at.

Overall Book Score: very good
