Zoboo, never far from the fun, meets and greets his playmates with a curiosity and fascination equaled only by the nearly four million children watching the hit PBS series. And that includes human kids. So it's a natural way for kids to learn about animals.
Child psychologists agree that play is essential to a child's development.
Through play they learn everything from thinking and reasoning skills to coping with feelings such as anger, frustration and stress. Just watching the Kratt Brothers tumble in and out of The Mud Pit speaks volumes on the subject of having fun while learning. The leaping lemur propels through the air as children learn about the natural elements of flight. A place where the Kratt Brothers can swing on a vine like the monkeys or splash around in the water with otters, it's an enchanting world of discovery that is an eclectic playground of wacky contraptions, endearing characters and endless fun. In the new episodes, their travels include visits to India and Africa where they explore the native animals in their natural habitats.
