Peppa Pig and the vegetable garden

PreS-Gr 1-Peppa Pig and her little brother George are back in another wacky adventure! Peppa and George love to help Granny and Grandpa Pig in the garden. After Peppa plants seeds, she forgets that patience is an important factor in the growth process. To pass the time, the siblings create games and imitate insects. When they spot birds pecking at their seeds, they build a scarecrow. Mummy and Daddy Pig soon join in on the fun. Fans of the "Peppa Pig" television series will especially enjoy this zany adventure. Readers will laugh out loud when Peppa imitates a worm and snicker when a snail is called a "Mon-sta!" Storytellers will relish the chance to imitate Peppa's British accent and act out her chuckling snorts. Colorful, digital vector-shaped illustrations fill each spread. Parents will love the notion of constructing a salad into the shape of a dinosaur ("dino-saw") when George refuses to eat his vegetables. Readers will want more Peppa Pig action after this engaging storytime addition. The book can serve as an additional purchase, as there are numerous formats in the "Peppa Pig" series, including DVDs and mobile apps.-Krista Welz, North Bergen High School, NJ (c) Copyright 2013.
