Annie loves to joke around and be silly, and will do things like hang bananas or coconuts from her limbs, pretending to be a different kind of tree (“I’m just feeling so… TROPICAL today!”). Beyond being a great storyteller, Annie is a constant source of shade and welcoming hospitality.}} |

Ant's grand projects don't leave him much time to join Elmo's adventures, but all Elmo has to do to get him involved, is make Ant feel that Elmo's quest is actually hard work. Ant may be tough talkin', but he's got a soft heart. He is always ready to lend Elmo, or any other backyard resident, a helping leg – and he's got six of them.}} |
