Chris and Martin, the energetic animal-loving hosts of "Kratts'
Creatures", have done it again. Very similar to the first show,
"Zoboomafoo" is a half hour romp through the magical world of animals.
Each show begins in Animal Junction, where Chris and Martin hang out
with Zaboo the lemur and an ever-changing host of wild animals. This is a
place where the laws of nature step aside momentarily, allowing all
sorts of interactions that would never happen in the wild. You can
always expect one of the brothers to chime in with "It can only happen
in Animal Junction".
Usually there is one particular animal
that is the focus of the show. Zaboo offers clues to the animal's
identity, and then the viewers are asked with a song to help figure out
what the mystery animal is. From there, the Kratt Brothers set off on an
expedition to study the creature in its natural habitat. Fantastic
animal footage abounds in every episode, and along with the animals
comes lots of great info about them.
All this is broken up by
the crazy stunts of Chris and Martin, the corny jokes of Zaboo, the
experiences of kids around the country, and Zaboo's adventures in
Zabooland -- not to mention the songs which are sung in every single
episode. Guaranteed to hold the attention of a preschooler just
discovering the wonderful world of animals, this show is another
testament to the Kratt Brothers' creativity.
