Peppa Pig and the Backyard Circus

Peppa Pig and the Backyard Circus. Candlewick Press. 32 pages. [Source: Review copy]

First sentence: It's a sunny day, and Peppa and her friends are visiting Grandpa and Granny Pig. Grandpa Pig is using his hammer. "It's a circus tent!" says Peppa. "Hooray!" everyone shouts.

Premise/plot: Grandpa Pig has set up a tent in his backyard for Granny Pig's garden party. Peppa and her friends think it should be a circus tent. They want to put on a show. Everyone has something to do at the circus. What will Peppa do?

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. It was silly. But then again it is Peppa Pig. Expecting Peppa not to be silly is like expecting water not to be wet. In other words, it's great fun if you love Peppa Pig and all of her friends. If the point of a circus is to have fun, it's a great success.
