Series Description: Designed especially for preschoolers, this groundbreaking energetic series is all about that great moment of discovery when a kid meets an animal for the first time. Using music, songs and sounds from around the world, the series teaches children how to respect and care for the creatures with which they share the planet. ZOBOOMAFO (pronounced zah-BOO-mah-foo) stars the Kratt brothers - Martin and Chris - and a playful and curious little lemur named Zoboomafoo. Through live action and the wonders of puppetry, animation and claymation, Zoboomafoo - "Zoboo" for short - is every little kid's dream: a wonderful talking animal who's a special friend.
