Delightful walkabout with stilt-walking Sarah and her Giant Puppet Freddy. A pink and furry bundle of fun Freddy loves to go for a walk he is always peeking in people's bags and be careful if you are eating crisps or an ice cream as Freddy is always on the lookout for lunch. Sarah manages to keep him in control but only just.
