It also turns into a boat they can take on the river.

From the Publisher

Toddler-PreS—This picture book covers the familiar territory of the adventures of Peppa Pig, her brother George, Daddy Pig, and Mummy Pig. The family goes on a trip in their camper van, which has several interesting capabilities, including the ability to drive through water, transform beds for Peppa and George, and pop up the camper's roof to make space for the family. The camper is too simplistic a plot device, though, and problems are solved so quickly and easily that there's no room for suspense or excitement, which makes the story feel thin. Daddy Pig is shown performing the traditionally male roles of driving the camper and building the fire, while Mummy Pig packs the picnic lunch. The book's audience may be toddlers and preschoolers, but children can appreciate a more nuanced story. The length of the book may also make it hard to hold the attention of young listeners if read aloud. The concept of a family spending time together is a great one, but plenty of picture books highlight those relationships more successfully. Despite this, the book is sure to have its fans among those who love the animated program. Additionally, the illustrations are rendered digitally and do retain the sweetness and charm of the show. VERDICT For ardent Peppa Pig fans only.—Celia Dillon, The Brearley School, New York
