    Penelope Puddleworth's Perfect Problem: a hilariously bonkers kids storytelling episode Penelope Puddleworth wakes up eight feet tall and absolutely perfect—and quickly discovers that being giant is not all it’s cracked up to be. The bigger she is, the harder it is to get through doorways, play games, or keep her head out of the ceiling. And when she starts telling the truth about everyone’s mistakes, she shrinks—fast.

    From playground mishaps to magical shrinking and growing, Penelope learns the very important lesson that being perfectly giant, or tiny, is far less fun than being ordinary. Only by genuinely noticing the good in others does she find the perfect height for friends, fun, and surviving Year Six.
