For whatever reason, I cannot stand Peppa Pig. In the show, I think it’s the strange storylines and the horribly annoying snort laughing that ends each episode. Normally, I wouldn’t read this book, but at work we are exposing a kid to various kid things and last week was Peppa Pig so I picked this up from the library to read to him.

Overall, it was an okay read. As with the show, the story was a bit weird. Peppa’s sad there is a flood instead of muddy puddles (because child priorities), then they go to the store, then there is a big muddy puddle the next day. Happy ending. Not really much of a story.

The illustrations are cute and very colorful.

As an adult, I was a bit concerned out the lack of preparations taken before the flood, but I suppose all the houses were built on hills for a reason. Whatever. I know children shows don’t have to make sense; it just kind of bugged me.

I am sure Peppa fans would like this book, I am just not one of those fans.
