Dutch Sesame Street: Meet Purk

Hey there! You know Sesame Street is a real long street with streets in multiple countries. In The Netherlands it is called Sesamstraat and it has its own colourful neighbours. Me will tell you about me Dutch friends. In me last episode of the introduction round of Dutch Sesame Street neighbours, me would like to talk about Purk, a baby piglet that loves to cuddle, poop in her diaper and just be a naughty, cute, little baby. She is the youngest of the bunch, loves playing with Pino (because they are close in age together) and she often has a bow in her ear. (picture by The Muppet Workshop)

Dutch Sesamestreet: Meet Pino

Hello! Me is back with a new introduction of a neighbour on the Dutch Sesamestreet: Pino. Me mentioned Pino before during the Dutch alphabet (remember P is for…), but now me will properly introduce him. Pino (you pronounce it as Pee-no) is a very big, blue bird. He is the cousin of Big Bird. Pino has colourful feathers on top of his head. He may be tall and a goofball, but he is just a little kid too. Pino is only four years old.
