A few weeks ago our family was new to Peppa Pig so I really didn't know which DVD to start with.
I was going to buy the Complete Collection (just released) but I think 9 hours of any TV hit is a bit too much for my 2 year old at the moment (not to mention a 30 year old trying to sort through 9 discs in order to find the favorites!)
I bought Peppa's Christmas a few weeks ago as a run up to the Christmas season and it has been a HUGE HUGE hit. Suddenly watching ITNG has taken second place and I never thought I would see the day.
Peppa is an 'ordinary' little piggy and the series is sweet & refreshing. It's not overly basic so I can see my daughter adoring this lovable character for a few more years to come.
Episode listing: Peppa's Christmas (feature), Pirate Island, Cuckcoo Clock, Pretend Friend, The Long Grass, The Dentist, Zoe Zebra, Nature Trail, Pen Pal, School Bus Trip, Granny and Grandpa's Attic
I'm going to buy one or two more Peppa DVD's, just for variety and in case this one wears itself out!
Definitely recommended
* Update Oct 2010: I'm pleased to say that this dvd is still one of my daughter's all time favourites and two years after our first Peppa dvd, we're still buying and enjoying them all!
