Bob the Builder is the main character of the popular TV show "Bob the Builder," which targets an audience of preschoolers. He goes around helping people do jobs such as building walls, mending fences, etc. He is assisted by Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, and Roley, all of whom are talking work-vehicles. Wendy is a blond female construction worker, and she has a blue crane named Lofty. I think that Bob and Wendy are in love and will be married some time in the future. Other major characters include Spud, an innocent scarecrow, and Pilchard, Bob's pet cat.

The personalities and physical traits of the characters in Bob the Builder vary greatly.

Wendy is a female construction worker. She is Bob's business partner and often helps him with his jobs.

Scoop is a bright yellow backhoe loader. He is of the male gender and is quite confident, the self-proclaimed leader of the machines. Sometimes he can be quite bossy. His catchphrase is "No prob, Bob!"

Muck is a red bulldozer. He is an impulsive male who does many things without thinking them over first, which sometimes gets him in trouble, though he always ends up O.K. His catchphrase is "Muck to the rescue!"

Dizzy is a young, female, orange concrete mixer. She is eager to learn and easily excited. Her catchphrase is "Brilliant!"

Roley is a male green steamroller. His catchphrase is "Rock and roll!"

Lofty is a blue male crane. He is shy with little confidence, and his catchphrase is "Uhh...yeah, I think so!" He usually says this after Bob asks if they can fix it.

Spud is a male scarecrow. In the TV show, he acts similar to a young child. His catchphrase is: "Ok, Farmer Pickles!" and "Spud's on the job!"

Pilchard is Bob's female pet cat. She is quite lazy, and spends most of her time asleep.

Bob the Builder is my hero because he is so determined. Once he starts doing a job, he never stops until he is finished, either ignoring or overcoming any obstacles in his way, be it sickness, bad weather, injuries, or someone with a bad attitude problem. He shows people, not only preschoolers, around the world that no matter what is in your way, if you give something enough effort, it is possible. He proves to us that there is no such thing as "Mission Impossible."

Also, Bob shows us the power of teamwork. With his friends, Wendy, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, Lofty, and more, he can do almost anything. Without them, many of the jobs he was given would not be able to be done.

And that is why Bob the Builder is my hero.
