Hobbies

Norrie is a sweet-natured, fun-loving mouse who loves dancing, playing, and having fun. She’s very bright and curious, and doesn’t like to sit still for too long. One parent commented: 'My little girl interacted with all the different functions. She loved hearing the song that played and kept wanting to hear it.' Each 7 minute episode involves animal children (a crocodile, octopus, hippo), spending time with Duggee, an adorable dog who heads up Squirrel Club. Duggee tries to award them a badge at the end of each show, once they’ve been shown the ropes of a particular subject and Duggee teaches the kids about being responsible, working as a team, taking acceptable risks and most importantly … having fun!
