PAWS is the cute cat who is always ready for some fun and games – except when
he needs a nap, of course!
BEE is very adventurous. She loves
exploring new places and making new friends, so
she’s really looking forward to the gang’s trip to Russia.
MUTT the dog is very cuddly and extremely
clumsy! His friends are forever clearing up after
him as he tends to be quite messy. But he’s so lovable
that nobody minds!
SIMON loves to think up new games
for the gang to play. He loves sports, especially football, but he definitely
needs a lot more practice!
STREETWISE is the mischievous
mouse who’s always getting into trouble. He’s sweet, silly and lots of
fun!
