A trip to the Moon by Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is back again, this time going on an exciting trip to the moon. There is a show at the Museum that is all about the moon and the family goes to see it. Mr Rabbit shows them around and they blast off when they are all seated in the rocket. Even though Daddy Pig makes some Daddy jokes about the Moon being made of cheese, Mr Rabbit corrects him telling everyone that it is made of rocks and that the tour is a serious one. The children hear about gravity, space vehicles and what it would be like to jump on the Moon. Young children listening to the story will have fun learning about the Moon and space as well.

The illustrations are very familiar with the Pig family featured in their backyard, and then in space suits. All the pages are brightly coloured, with interesting details for children to look for, and the black sky against the grey of the moon is very effective.

 Fans of Peppa Pig will have fun with A trip to the Moon, enjoying blasting off and defying gravity.

Themes: Moon.
