Recycling, a visit to the Botanical Gardens, and a ride in an electric car—it’s all part of Peppa and George’s Earth Day celebration! It’s Earth Day, and Peppa and her family are celebrating with a visit to the Botanical Gardens. But first, there’s recycling to sort and compost to collect. Then they’re off in Daddy Pig’s electric car! At the gardens, everyone enjoys seeing and learning about the many plants and the colorful wildflowers, which the bees love almost as much as Peppa does. There’s even a surprise outside—one that’s wet and squishy and just right for jumping in! Toddler-PreS-Peppa and her family celebrate Earth Day with a visit to their town's botanical gardens. Along the way, they learn about a variety of Earth-friendly activities, including compost and recycling, windmills, and electric cars. The family visits a wildflower garden and learns how bees and flowers help each other. Peppa and George play with their friends in a mud puddle and eventually head back home in the electric car, which has a name, Roger, and is a bit more advanced than the electric cars we're familiar with. New readers and fans of Peppa alike will enjoy this simple but effective story. VERDICT A charming choice for Earth Day and environmental story times.-Kristy Pasquariello, Westwood P.L., MAα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
