is it normal for a 21 month old girl to be so obsessed with Peppa Pig?

My daughter is 21 months and obsessed doesnt quite cover how she reacts to Peppa Pig. The first thing she wants to do in the morning is watch it (I dont let her), she then moves on to play with peppa figurines, the only books she will read are about Peppa etc.

I struggle to get her to share her Peppa toys at home, but a few trips to the naughty step usually works. However when I picked her up from nursery today, she had been bullying other children and refusing to let them play with the nursery's Peppa toys. When we went to leave another child had a Peppa toy that she wanted. I wouldnt let her and marched her out the room, where by she then had the biggest tantrum I have ever seen, it lasted a whole hour :(

As a result of this, i have hidden everything Peppa related in our house in the hope she will become less attached. Not sure if A. im being to meanand B. if this is normal behaviour?

Ha ha peasandlove, I blame Lola for the tomato aversion in this house (I realise the message is different by the end of the book but it's not theatre impression DD got!).

OP, wait until the DIsney princess stage. I think back to the peppa stage with affection...

Dd was getting very obsesed, tbh I restricted it and it defo helped. I just tried to get her interested in other things. It had got to the point where whenever she asked to do something/was asked the reply would be to watch peppa!
