Season 3 Book 47



Narrator: Peppa and George are playing at
Zoe Zebra's house.
Little Zuzu and Zaza are making a jungle
with play-clay.
George has made a dinosaur out of play-clay.
Peppa and Zoe are having a dolls' picnic.
Peppa: Hello, Mr. Monkey.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Zoe: Monkey says yes.

1

Peppa: What's the magic word, Mr. Monkey?
Zoe: That means please.
Peppa: Oh! We haven't got a tea-set.
Zoe: We could make a tea-set out of play-clay.

2

Peppa: Yes. George, can we use your play-clay
please?
George: No.
Zoe: Zuzu, Zaza, we need to make a tea-set
for our tea party.
Zuzu and Zaza: No.
Peppa: You can help us make it.

3

Zoe: I'll make the teapot.
Peppa: And we'll make the cups.
Zoe: There! Now monkey can have tea.
Oh! This teapot is too soft.
Peppa: Real tea-sets aren't soft.
Zoe: My mummy makes real pots. She does
pottery.
Peppa: Wow!

4

Zoe: Mummy, can you help us make a tea-set
please?
Peppa: Real teacups and a teapot that we can
put real water in.
Zoe’s mom: Okay. Come with me.

5

Narrator: This is where Ms. Zebra makes her
pottery.
Zoe’s mom: Let's make this tea-set.
Peppa: What's that?
Zoe’s mom: Clay.
All pottery starts off like that.
Peppa: That is soft, like play-clay.
Zoe’s mom: We need it to be soft, so we can
shape it. But later it won't be soft.

6

Narrator: Mummy Zebra is making a little
cup on the potter's wheel.
Zoe’s mom: There, one cup.
All: Wow.
Peppa: That looks easy.
Zoe’s mom: Would you like to try?
Peppa: Yes, please. It's all slimy.
Ah, it's all gone wrong.

7

Narrator: Making a cup on a potter's wheel is
not easy.
Zoe’s mom: There is an easier way to make a
cup. First, roll the clay into a long worm like
this.
Peppa: It's a wriggly worm!
I'm a wriggly worm. I'm made of clay.
What shall I make today?
I'm a wriggly worm.

8

Zoe’s mom: We wrap it round and round like
this.
Peppa: It's a bit bumpy.
Zoe’s mom: No, I smooth the jolt with my
hands and I add a handle.
Peppa: It's a cup.
Zoe: Now we have two cups.

9

Zoe’s mom: Yes, but a tea-set needs more than
two cups.
Peppa: We'll all make cups.
Zoe: Yes.
George: Dinosaur.
Peppa: George has made a dinosaur.
George always makes dinosaurs.
Zoe’s mom: What a scary dinosaur!

10

Zoe’s mom: Now we need to bed the tea-set in
a kiln.
Narrator: A kiln is an oven, cooks the clay and
makes it hard.
Zoe’s mom: The tea-set should be ready.
All: Hooray.

11

Zoe’s mom: Now we paint them.
Narrator: The children are painting the tea-set
lovely bright colors.
The tea-set is finished.
Zoe: Now we can have our tea party.

12

Peppa: There is a cup for everyone.
Zoe: Oh, we forgot to make a teapot.

13

Peppa: I know. George's dinosaur can be the
teapot.
Zoe’s mom: Yes, let's fill it with water.
Peppa: This is the best tea-set in the world!

14

Zoe’s mom: Everybody knows that all the
finest tea-sets have a dinosaur in them.
George: Teapot.
