Peppa and her family race to the fair to discover Daddy Pig’s big surprise in a story tailor-made for little fans who love vehicles.Daddy Pig has a surprise for Peppa, George, and Mummy Pig. But they’ll have to hurry to the fairgrounds to find out what it is. The car is the quickest way to go, but when it breaks down, the family has to figure out another way―and fast!
