The Peppa Pig Collection (Ladybird Rucksack Edition)

Charlotte received this collection of Peppa Pig hardback books from friends of ours (Thanks Harvinder and Mohinder!) and they've since been amongst the most read of Charlotte's christmas book gifts. Gathering together ten short but sweet Peppa Pig tales in a handy wearable clear plastic case (that's probably a bit heavy for most toddlers but is extremely useful for keeping the books together and not scattered all over the floor), the books should certainly score a massive hit with your children if they're Peppa Pig fanatics.
Covering subjects as diverse as Daddy Pig's ridiculous attachment to a smelly old chair, Peppa's first experience with wobbly teeth and George's first visit to the swimming pool, your children will inevitably find a favourite amongst the collection.
Charlotte's best bit: She's absolutely obsessed with "The Tooth Fairy" to the point where she's almost wishing she had wobbly teeth.
Daddy's favourite bit: Daddy Pig thinking he's scored a bargain at the school Jumble sale.

The Story of Peppa Pig
The Story of Peppa Pig
Created by Mark Baker and Neville Astley
Published by Ladybird Books
Peppa Pig seems to have been around in one form or another for absolutely ages (and in fact this book was first published in 2003). We're relative latecomers to the Peppa Pig phenomenon. Charlotte loves the TV series because it's completely insane, surreal and...well...piggy. I love it because it features a lot of alumni from the "Absolutely" team, a bunch of talented comedians featuring the likes of Morwenna Banks, John Sparkes and Pete Baikie.
The Story of Peppa Pig contains all the essential ingredients kids would require from a Peppa Pig book. Instructions on how to jump in muddy puddles, George's complete love of Dine-Saws (Grr), Daddy Pig's ineptitude at everything, and Mummy Pig's wisdom as well as Peppa's muddy puddle obsession.
Certainly better than most books licensed from TV series and an absolute must if your child is a fan of "The Hair Dryers" as one of my friends calls Peppa and her family.
Charlotte's best bit: Peppa's Muddy Puddle jumping instructions
Daddy's favourite bit: George crying at the loss of his beloved Dine-Saw
