PBS Distribution 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).
“TINY TROUBLE” is available today, 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.
