Pingu (series 1) - The New Arrival

The New Arrival

Pingu is reading a book that he thinks is interesting, while Mother and Father are watching the egg from the preceding episode. It is apparently about to hatch, and Mother tells Father to call the doctor. The penguin doctor is called. At first Pingu expects to watch, but he is told to stay away and be quiet because he will just get in the way and disturb Pinga. He gets tired of the waiting in tension, but finally the egg cracks and Pinga is introduced. What will Pingu and his family think of her?
