Some of my favorite things have come from "across the pond"...the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jude Law, Christian Bale.  :awe:  You get the idea!  Now, Peppa Pig has also jumped across the pond to delight preschoolers everywhere with her award-winning television show.

Peppa Pig is a top-rated animated series in the U.K. geared for preschool-aged children.  What's unique is that each episode is only about 5-minutes long, instead of the typical 15-minute format of most children's shows my daughter watches.  Peppa Pig follows the daily adventures of Peppa, a lovable, energetic little piggy who lives with her brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig.

My entire family has long enjoyed the antics of Peppa Pig and her clan and now, thanks to the new Peppa Pig merchandise from Fisher-Price, my daughter can be delighted by Peppa any time!

The New Fisher-Price Peppa Pig Merchandise is Sure to Make Your Little Oinkers Happy

Peppa Pig is a show that revolves around Peppa, a little girl pig, and her family and friends. Each of her friends is a different species of mammal with cute names like Emily Elephant, Rebecca Rabbit and Zoe Zebra.  Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visiting their grandparents, going to the playground or riding bikes.

Because Peppa lives in the U.K., she speaks with a sweet and engaging British accent.  She loves playing games, dressing up, going on trips and jumping in muddy puddles.  Her adventures always end happily with loud snorts of laughter!  My daughter truly enjoyed Peppa Pig and the show's certain style of lighthearted, laugh-out-loud storytelling.  I, on the other hand, genuinely appreciated the show's emphasis on family, friendship, fun and humor.

Peppa Pig is a delightful show for the entire family, because my family finds the English humor and different words they use quite humorous.  For instance, any time someone on the show breaks something electronic, they always ask Daddy Pig to "mend it".  All he knows how to do though is turn the item off and then turn it back on.  This always works and we laugh then when the announcer says that "Daddy Pig mended the computer".

Also, when Peppa's family goes to the grocery store, they use "trolleys" instead of shopping carts and they go to the local pool dressed in their "swimming costumes" instead of bathing suits.  Of course, I always get a big kick out of my southern belle of a daughter trying to imitate Peppa and speak with a British accent.
