PBS Kids' Wild Kratts follows the animated adventures of zoologists Chris and Martin Kratt. The Kratt brothers have been bringing the exciting world of animals to kids' TVs for years, including the hits Kratts' Creatures and Zoboomafoo. Their latest offering, Wild Kratts on PBS Kids, features Chris and Martin introducing each show with a live segment, then switching to the cartoon capers of the Wild Kratts team as they use science and technology to explore creature habitats.
On January 21 the Wild Kratts venture into the ocean depths for the one-hour special "Lost at Sea," where they will encounter blowfish on the coral reef, dolphins playing in the waves, and more. "Lost at Sea" features two brand-new episodes, "Blowfish Blowout" and "Speaking Dolphinese," where the Kratts use their creature power suits on rescue missions for their undersea friends.
My daughter is a huge fan of Wild Kratts, and although the show features seemingly fantastical creature powers, I can always count on the Kratt brothers to teach her something new. In every episode Chris and Martin Kratt share age-appropriate science facts and even recent animal discoveries. In fact, the episode "Speaking Dolphinese" taught me a thing or a two about dolphins. Wild Kratts continues to be an ideal introduction for young kids into the world of animals, with a perfect mix of humor, adventure, and science.
The world premiere of Wild Kratts "Lost at Sea" airs on January 21 on PBS Kids, followed by a DVD release on January 22.
