Penelope K, by the way

Episode 4: Biggest Animal

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies

Penelope K runs the Information Station, a place which contains all the answers to any question a child might have. To help her find the answers, Penelope is joined by her sock puppet, Squirm; Hank and Frank, two wise cracking fish; Trewey, the shadow rabbit, and music is provided by the Rubber Band.

Penelope K is baffled by the facts when she investigates which is the world's biggest animal. Could it be a rabbit, a duck, an elephant or a giant chicken fish? She puzzles and muddles over perspective and scale and becomes kerfuddled. Luckily, the facts are just enough for the child to piece together that the biggest animal in the world is a blue whale. And that's a fact! Show less
