The WILD KRATTS: Predator Power DVD includes four adventures that take kids on fantastic journeys to explore the deep sea with sharks, fly through the sky with eagles, howl with a wolf pack, find out why cheetah cubs mimic their mothers and more!

The DVD includes the following episodes:

• Stuck on Sharks- Martin and Chris are on a mission to uncover the secret life of the mysterious Great White Shark and soon learn that the giant predator of the sea actually has lots of challenges to contend with.
• Mimic in the Grass- While exploring why some animals mimic the looks of others, Martin and Chris encounter a cheetah cub and its mom. But before they know it, the mom is ‘cat-napped’ so it’s up to the Wild Kratts team to spring into action on a rescue mission.
• Little Howler- Chris and Martin are unpacking from an adventure and are surprised when a Wolf pup pops out of their bags. They have no idea where the little guy came from and must retrace their steps in order to return him back to his pack. They learn that wolves are very social animals with a close pack structure and frequent visual and audio communication among individual members.
• Raptor Roundup- Martin and Chris challenge themselves to ID as many hawks, eagles, owls, falcons and vultures as they can. But they soon realize that an evil villain has been capturing them all! They’ll have to use everything they know about classification and birds of prey to round up the raptors and return them to where they belong – living free and in the wild!

MY THOUGHTS

My kids love Wild Kratts and so do I.  I was thrilled to get the opportunity to share the latest Wild Kratts dvd with them.  They loved it especially the parts where they learn about the animals (which is my favorite part too).

My son really loves the Raptor Roundup episode.  So much that his class did a thing on raptors partly because of this episode.  I love that my kids learn so much about animals and also that Wild Kratts teaches them to respect and take care of animals as well.  Another great thing about the show is that it is for both boys and girls and can even reach a wide range of age groups. 

Wild Kratts : Predator Power is available where dvds are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 11.49.  So be sure to grab a copy for the animal lover in your life.  Also it would make a great addition to an Easter basket.
