Raa Raa’s friends include Zebby, who’d rather be snoozing than on an adventure, Huffty, who loves music and singing, and Ooo Ooo, who loves nothing more than being mischievous and having a laugh and a joke. There’s also Topsy, Raa Raa’s tallest and oldest friend who can always find the solution to a problem in one of his books, and Crocky, who loves to help his friends – but he’s a little bit accident prone.

With jungle adventures come many challenges, but Raa Raa and his friends realise they can solve any problem by co-operating and working together as a team.

Through simple storylines, rhyme, rhythm and word play, Raa Raa the Noisy Lion helps pre-school children develop their crucial language skills as well as teaching appropriate behaviour and problem-solving.

In these new episodes, Raa Raa has to mime when he loses his voice, tries to find somewhere quiet to have a snack, and starts a collection of noisy jungle objects.

Raa Raa the Noisy Lion will be broadcast from Monday, 3 December at 07:05 and 15:05 on CBeebies, channel 306 on DStv.
