Generations of children have learned about the amazing world of animals through the adventures of zoologists Chris and Martin Kratt, first through their PBS show “Zoboomafoo” and now with their current show “Wild Kratts.”  The PBS Kids website has a special Wild Kratts section with tons of amazing features – ideas for craft projects, games such as “Amazin’ Amazon Adventure” and “Baby Animal Rescue,” and of course, episodes of their show!  There is also a special Creaturepedia section with lots of information about all sorts of animals, searchable by type of animal, region of the world where it lives or its habitat.  Currently, they are also showcasing read along story times with both Chris and Martin, a question and answer segment with the brothers, links to You Tube videos from their current travels, as well as a thirty minute video with animal activist Jane Goodall called “A Creature Conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall and the Kratt Brothers.”  Check it akk out at https://pbskids.org/wildkratts/.
