Peppa Pig is a lovable but slightly bossy little pig. She is four years old and lives with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and her little brother George. Peppa likes playing with her best friend Suzy Sheep, visiting Granny and Grandpa Pig and looking after George. Most of all, Peppa loves jumping up and down in muddy puddles, laughing and making loud snorting noises.

George is Peppa’s little brother. He is 18 months old and loves to play with his big sister, Peppa – even when she’s being bossy. George’s favorite thing is his toy dinosaur. He carries it everywhere with him. George can’t speak yet but can say one word very well: “Dine-saw!”

Mummy Pig likes jumping up and down in muddy puddles almost as much as Peppa. She works from home on her computer and sometimes lets Peppa and George help, as long as they don’t bash the keyboard. She is better at map reading than Daddy Pig and is very wise about most things.

Daddy Pig is very jolly and laughs all the time, especially when he plays with Peppa and George. Daddy Pig reads the paper and gets excited about trips in the car. He loves cookies and pumpkin pie and Peppa teases him about his big round tummy. Daddy Pig can be a tiny bit grumpy sometimes when he can’t remember where he put his glasses.

Granny Pig makes delicious homemade chocolate cake and loves feeding her chickens with Peppa and George.

Grandpa Pig is very good at growing vegetables and enjoys taking trips with Peppa and George on his sailing boat and little train.

Zoë Zebra is Mr Zebra the Postman’s daughter. She likes to help her daddy deliver the post. Her favourite thing in the whole world is her toy monkey. The sound Zoë Zebra makes is: “Brrrrrr!” The sound Zoë’s toy monkey makes is: “Oooh Oooh Oooh!”

Freddie Fox is in Peppa’s playgroup. His daddy Mr Fox owns a shop. Freddy has a very good sense of smell, which makes him very good at hide and seek! When he grows up he wants to be a Policeman. The sound Freddy Fox makes is: “Yap! Yap!”

Emily Elephant is Peppa’s friend. Emily likes to play with building blocks. Her favourite game is the same as Peppa’s: jumping up and down in muddy puddles. The sound Emily Elephant makes is like a trumpet call: “Eeooooorrrhhhhhhhhhhh!”
