Penelope K, by the way - Ants

Logo for Penelope K, by the way - Ants

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 receives some confusingly conflicting information about eggs when she investigates how strong they are. The Know Dome tells her they are strong like bridges, but when she drops one it breaks very easily. Birds sit on eggs to keep them warm, which means they would have to be strong after all. Penelope K ponders how ants walk in a line. Is it that they watch the ant in front of them? Or do they pass a ball from one to the other? Everyone knows they're very hard working so maybe they just practise a lot. When Penelope K gets lost and finds her way home by following a trail of flowers she has dropped, she realises that ants leave a scent for the ants behind to follow. They have great senses of smell.
