Who is Peppa Pig?

Few names travel as easily through a household as this one. Peppa Pig belongs to that small group of children’s properties recognised instantly by children who cannot yet read the letters on the cover, and the audiobooks extend the same world into the car, the bath and the ten minutes before sleep.

What holds up on audio is the shape of the storytelling: brief, predictable in the reassuring sense, built on the ordinary business of playing, squabbling and making up again. Nothing frightening, nothing that needs explaining afterwards. For a parent, that reliability is very much the point.

Peppa Pig: Play Days runs to forty minutes, which is roughly one car journey or several bedtimes depending on how you use it. John Sparkes narrates, and the voice will be familiar and welcome in any household where the programme is already in rotation.

The listener score sits near the top of the scale, which says something about how neatly the format suits its audience. Best for the smallest listeners, ideally with a grown up nearby to join in. Listen below.
