There is great excitement at school. Peppa Pig has
won a marine biology trip to Australia for her prize-winning picture of a fish
she has imagined. Miss Rabbit explains what marine biology means.
The prize
includes her family. They will be staying with Mrs Kangaroo, who intends to
give them lessons on how to scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef.
The family head off to shops to purchase all the things they
will need.
Miss Rabbit has decided to make her own way there.
No one knows how she plans to travel. Hot-air balloon, helicopter, then boat,
help her arrive at the same time in Australia as Peppa and her family. Kylie
Kangaroo is there to meet them.
Children accompany the popular Peppa Pig, George,
Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig through a wonderful adventure on the Great Barrier Reef.
As the family set out in a boat to learn about the stunning marine life that
includes turtles, blue starfish, pink sea anemones and whale, so will young
readers. Many will be introduced to
scuba diving for the first time. As in every Peppa Pig book or television show,
there is always something to learn and share; so many things to discover.
Brilliant colour illustrations fill every double
spread. They become a screen image that plays on the page. Emotive expressions,
bold lines and joyful atmosphere are perfect and familiar settings.
There is a surprise discovery included in the story
and a friendly whale that leads Peppa to it.
I love Peppa Pig books! They are always entertaining
and educational and a delight to read and examine, regardless of age.
