Entertaining and educational
(written by my husband)
I couple days ago my wife handed me a DVD box Wilds Kratts: Predator Power. I was relatively skeptical about this DVD when I got it in my hands for the first time. My wife insisted that I would love it, but there are so many programs of this nature out there - I felt under impression that it could be something aiming at my younger kid's age rather (he is 2), and the DVD case does say PBS Kids. However, I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued by this series: two real life guys and their cartoon avatars explore wildlife.
The cartoon guys have some super cool suites that can turn into one animal or another to let them interact with the animals in the segment. Each segment dedicates to one animal kind - shows its life style, social construction, hunting/defending methods, families, etc in the cartoon world while the real guys show the real animals and their habitat. A combination of cartoon and a documentary makes it look very cool and widens...
We love the Kratts
We were so excited to see more Wild Kratts on DVD! FYI, this disc contains 4 episodes:
Stuck on Sharks
A Mimic in the Grass (cheetahs are the primary subject)
Little Howler (wolves)
Raptor Roundup
Although I was sad it was only four episodes, we love them all. This show is so educational and fun. My son (age three) is always spouting random animal facts and I love that he is also learning respect for animals in the process. He has probably requested the Raptor episode 25 times. I mean what three year old can talk about talons with such fervor? He walks up to strangers and says "did you know snakes can see in the dark?" I love it.
Seriously...this a great program, the best PBS has to offer. If you have not already discovered it, I highly recommend it!
our kids watch it over and over!!!
This is very educational... love it and our 5, 6 and 8 year old feels the same... kratt brothers are great!
