Peppa Pig and the Library Visit

Peppa Pig and the Library Visit. Candlewick. 2017. 32 pages. [Source: Review copy]

First sentence: It's bedtime for Peppa and George. "Could we have a story, please?" asks Peppa. "Okay," says Mummy Pig. "Here's the one about the red monkey." "We always read that one," says Peppa. "The red monkey takes a bath, brushes his teeth, and goes to sleep. Let's choose another book instead."

Premise/plot: Peppa Pig and the Library Visit is a book based on an episode of the Peppa Pig show. In this episode, the family visits the library to return Daddy Pig's VERY overdue library book, The World of Concrete. While there, Peppa Pig picks out three new books to take home. One of them features the Red Monkey having ADVENTURES.

My thoughts: I really love, love, love some episodes of Peppa Pig. This one is a great episode. It makes sense to turn it into a book. I don't equally love all the Peppa Pig books. Some are quite honestly a bit on the boring side. But this one isn't. This one is entertaining for the most part. I would consider it a must if your little one loves all things Peppa.
