Peppa Pig: Peppa’s Big Race

A family cycling trip turns into a race once Peppa and the others turn it into a competition, though Peppa insists the course run downhill all the way. The humour comes from a recognisable bit of childhood logic: loving the ride down the hill and wanting nothing to do with pedalling back up. Events stay simple and the dialogue is short, which makes the story easy to follow for children who already know the characters. The board format keeps the book in one piece through the repeated readings these stories tend to get. Good to keep in mind: • A short story built around a family bike ride and a downhill race • Characters children are likely to recognise before opening the book • Simple sentences suited to reading aloud and sharing • Board pages that stand up to frequent rereading Written for preschoolers who follow Peppa and her family, and an easy shared-reading choice from Boipoka.
