Introduction to Peppa Pig:
1. Peppa Pig: a cute but somewhat bossy little pig, four years old. Lives with Mommy Pig, Daddy Pig and her brother George. Paige loves to play with her best friend Suzy, visit her pig grandparents, and take care of George. Most of all, Paige likes to bounce in muddy puddles, laugh, and make loud snoring noises.
2. George: Peppa's younger brother, 18 months old. Loves to play with his sister Peppa, even if she is bossy. George's favorite thing is his toy dinosaur. He carries it with him everywhere. George can't talk yet, but has a great phrase: "Dinosaur."
3. Momma Pig: Peppa and George's mom, like Paige, likes to bounce in muddy puddles. She works on the computer at home, sometimes letting Paige and George help, but not letting them hit the keyboard. She has a better sense of direction than Papa Pig and is wise in most things.
4. Daddy Pig: Peppa and George's dad loves to laugh, especially when he plays with Peppa and George. Papa Pig loves to read the newspaper, gets excited about car trips, and loves cookies and pumpkin pie. Always teased by Peppa about his big round belly. Papa Pig can be a little grumpy sometimes because he can't remember where he put his glasses.
