For whatever reason, I cannot stand Peppa Pig. In the show, I think it's the strange storylines and the horribly annoying snort laughing that ends each episode. Normally, I wouldn't read this book, but at work we are exposing a kid to various kid things and last week was Peppa Pig so I picked this up from the library to read to him.

Overall, it was an okay read. As with the show, the story was a bit weird. Peppa's sad there is a flood instead of muddy puddles (because child priorities), then they go to the store, then there is a big muddy puddle the next day. Happy ending. Not really much of a story.

The illustrations are cute and very colorful.

As an adult, I was a bit concerned out the lack of preparations taken before the flood, but I suppose all the houses were built on hills for a reason. Whatever. I know children shows don't have to make sense; it just kind of bugged me.

I am sure Peppa fans would like this book, I am just not one of those fans.

After going to sleep to the sound of rain on the windowsill, Peppa and George hope to find many muddy puddles into which they can leap. However, all that rain created a flood and each house has become its own island. Thankfully, Granny and Grandpa Pig have come with their boat (and a special friend), allowing Peppa and George to tag along. Peppa learn the importance of good listening. Neo wondered if we could get sail around town after a flood. I tried to explain that it was not as heroic as the story makes it appear. Still, Neo is excited to ride about in a boat, helping others.

Storyline is a little strange. Why do they all live on hills?
