This is a delightful video that reveals where some wild and unusual animals make their homes. The All About Animals series was especially developed for the preschool viewer. Each video has been reviewed by child development specialists, resulting in fun, high-quality introductions to the world of animals. There are four creatures that act as guides throughout this video. The first ones we meet are Bobby Bushbaby, Sunny Honeypossum, and Balzac the Chameleon, realistic puppets that are in the middle of a game of hide and seek. Throughout the video they offer interesting facts about each other. The other guide is an animated flamingo called Francisco Flamingo, a fast-talking fellow who introduces the viewer to some unusual yet safe places that animals call home. You'll learn where and how the prairie dog lives, as well as wolves, puffins, black-footed ferrets, and many more. These segments are beautifully photographed and informative. Also included are upbeat sing-along songs "Down to the Water Hole" and "Cool Cats," a rhythm and blues song about felines of all shapes and sizes. Parents can feel good knowing that they are offering their children a wonderful opportunity to discover nature and learn to respect animals. (Ages 2 to 5)
