Series synopsis
Peg + Cat is an American kids animation television series that premiered on PBS on October 7, 2013. It was created by Billy Aronson, Jennifer Oxley. It stars Hayley Faith Negrin, Dwayne Hill, Christian Distefano and Thamela Mpumlwana.
Meet Peg, a curious and spunky preschooler, and her feline companion, Cat, who will rely on math "to tackle social and relationship issues and everyday problems like cleaning up a messy bedroom," Rotenberg says. Some of their dilemmas may be zany — like how to get 100 chickens back into their coop or how to feed a horde of hungry pirates with just one banana — but it's all solvable via mathematics and a zippy song.
