.com The Kratt brothers show us how playtime is also teaching time in the animal world in this second release from their popular PBS show, Zoboomafoo. They introduce us to Toothbrush the Elephant, and he's just the first in a parade of animals, which includes monkeys, horses, kittens, and a few more exotic types. Chris and Martin, in typical fashion, are quick to illustrate to preschoolers the most interesting traits of the animals. Monkeys, they explain, seem to be playing when they pound an object around. But then the Kratts show us (with video footage of monkeys in the wild) that that is how they find their food, pounding bark from trees to get the insects crawling around underneath. Combining live-action, claymation, animation, puppetry, and the Kratts' exuberant energy, this 50-minute video should be a favorite with the animal lover at your house. --Doug Thomas

Finally, an interesting alternative to Barney!!!
I cannot say enough about the Zoboomafoo series. My three year old son has been enthralled and has developed an utter fascination with all animals (beyond the natural early childhood bug preoccupation). It's a program we enjoy watching together, and this tape is longer than the PBS programs with a wider variety of animals (even little kid "animals"). Definitely a winner, this tape is a little more likely than the other one to get your little one wound up, but that's why there's two, one for if it's close to naptime, and one for if it's not :) Buy this, you'll thank me!

A wonderful experience for toddlers!
My 15-month-old loves Zoboomafoo. I bought this tape since my PBS channel does not come in very well since I do not have cable. It is excellent. Even better then the TV show since it combines the best parts of 5 seperate shows into one full hour of animal fun. There are over a dozen animals playing on this tape. It is really fun to watch and my girl just loves it. Those Kraft brothers have a lot of energy and seem very happy. Their enthusiasm rubs off on whoever watches them. This is a sure hit for any children who love animals.

Two year old loves it
My two year old loves Zoboo and the Kratt Brothers. And I love this video as well. It has songs and games and gets children to use their imaginations. I have not tired of this video yet ... and my son and I watch it at least once a day. And the brothers always remind children to "give animals thier space". Very informative and lots of fun. You will not be disappointed in this video or any of the other Zoboo and Kratt brother videos.

Crazy about Zoboo
My 5 year old daughter is crazy about Zoboomafoo and watches this show constantly. I was so happy to see that 2 more videos are going to be released this year because these videos are her all time favorites (even more than Henry the Gecko from the Amazing Animal's video series). This program is completely educational and fun to watch. I have really learned a lot about the animal kingdom as well!

He Loves It!
My 5 year old will stop everything to watch this. It keeps his attention. We even tell time by the show -- a half hour is equal to one Zoboomafoo.Highly recommend!

My Son's favorite!
my 15 month old son is absolutely entranced with the show and with this video. He brings it to me and asks for it without words as often as he can find the case--and I enjoy it too! It's enjoyable, doesn't talk down and is very informative! A family favorite!
