THE NEW WILD KRATTS DVD “TINY TROUBLE” OFFERS BIG FUN
PBS KIDS Series WILD KRATTS Combines Science Education with Fun and Adventure
"PBS Distribution recently announced that it will be releasing two episodes of PBS KIDS’ popular WILD KRATTS series on the new DVD “TINY TROUBLE.” Join brothers and wildlife explorers Martin and Chris Kratt (creators of the award-winning WILD KRATTS, KRATTS’ CREATURES and Emmy-winning ZOBOOMAFOO) as they explore nature, meet up with cool creatures from around the world, and witness never-before-seen wildlife moments. The two episodes featured on this DVD – “Termites vs. Tongues” and “Bugs or Monkeys” – are filled with humor, excitement, and science!
WILD KRATTS transforms Martin and Chris Kratt into animated versions of themselves, allowing the real-life zoologists to visit wild animals in their little-seen habitats and to showcase key science concepts along the way. Geared toward kids ages 6 to 8, each episode of WILD KRATTS presents developmentally-appropriate science inspired by the natural abilities of the animals that the Kratt brothers – and young viewers – meet. The series premiered on PBS KIDS in January 2011 and is part of PBS KIDS’ ongoing commitment to STEM – science, technology, engineering, and math – education for kids. WILD KRATTS airs weekdays on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
“Termites vs. Tongues” -- When a miniaturized Aviva and Koki are carried away by termites, Martin and Chris must infiltrate the termite ranks – as both termite and termite predator – to get them back.
Learning Goal – Predators and prey develop specific attacks and defenses to counter each other.
“Bugs or Monkeys” -- While arguing over their next adventure, Chris and Martin meet a group of spider monkeys! But when a miniaturized Martin is carried away by a baby monkey, the rest of the Tortuga crew must work to find him.
Learning Goal – Certain animals have unique anatomical features adapted to maneuver in particular environments.
“TINY TROUBLE” will be available on June 10, 2014. The DVD run time is approximately 50 minutes and its SRP is $9.99. In addition to featuring two fun-filled, laugh-out-loud adventures, the DVD also includes special features – coloring pages and activities."

My Thoughts:
I can't help but sing the catchy theme song every time I think of show. Out of all the shows on PBS Kids, this is by far our youngest, Bella's, favorite show. She can't go a day without seeing the Kratt brothers transform into animated characters and go on wild adventures on land in and the ocean. Another great show that gets girls especially excited about science, Wild Kratts will not only entertain but teach preschooler so much. Like WordGirl teaching Savannah new words, Wild Kratts teaches Bella about different wild animals, which in turn she loves to talk about, or pretend to be.
These two adventure-filled episodes, which have already aired on television, will delight Wild Kratts fans, as they watch them over and over again. Even though we received this DVD yesterday, Bella has already watched the two episodes a few times already. And, I expect her to ask to watch the DVD again tomorrow and for some time to come.
