abstract	Purk is a piglet from Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street. Purk wears a diaper and a little bow in her ear. She is clumsy and messy and loves to get herself dirty. She can't walk yet and only knows a few words. She is taken care of by everybody on Sesamstraat. Introduced in 2003, Purk is the newest of the Muppet characters, and she's very popular. She was created in order to introduce the subject of "a younger child in the family". It took three years for Sesame Workshop to approve the character: they felt that Purk should not be too fat due to the issue of obesity. The actual puppet was based on a drawing by Sesamstraat actor and mime artist Hakim Traïda.Also the project was difficult since Sesame Workshop didn´t allow as easily a new character. The Workshop became more flexible when they found out that the American Sesame Street wasn´t doing that great for several years that time and that the international co-productions were best selling products at that time.
