Production notes
The stories revolve around the daily adventures of Paz, his mom Big Penguin, grandpa Pappy, and Paz's friends Rabbit, Dog and Pig. Paz is a curious little fellow who explores his brightly colored world with wide-eyed enthusiasm. Brimming with confidence and energy, the very shape of his smiling beak indicates a positive outlook on life. Paz is an instigator of adventures... and he sees them EVERYWHERE! He can turn the simplest event into a day's worth of excitement. Paz is based on the much-loved "little penguin" books by Irish writer Mary Murphy.
