Penelope Penguin

Penelope Penguin is a penguin who appeared in Episode 4505 of Sesame Street. She is Big Bird's pen pal who comes to visit, greeting him with a big hug. She then hugs Mrs. Crustworthy who quickly runs away. Chris suggests that Penelope finds a new way of greeting people. Soon, she meets Elmo, Telly and Rosita who invite her to play basketball with them. Letting her enthusiasm get the better of her, instead of passing the ball back to the other players, she dunks the ball on her own. Chris tells her that she needs to be more of a team player, and to stop and think about how her actions affect others.

When the gang decides to have ice cream, Penelope decides to put fish on everyone's ice cream because she loves eating it that way. The others don't like this and they leave.

Chris reminds her that she needs to Stop and Think when trying to make friends. She apologizes to her new friends and they all understand and forgive her.
