Product Description: During a game of hide-and-seek with Sunny the honey possum, Bobby the bush baby falls into a tree hole and wonders "who would sleep in here?" Chameleon Uncle Balzac asserts that sometimes bush babies sleep in holes but cites prairie dogs as more common inhabitants. After a rhyming verse about prairies, Uncle Balzac declares that many animals, such as the burrowing owl and black-footed ferret, use abandoned prairie dog holes as shelter for raising their young. Even creatures as varied as bears, puffins, and white wolves sleep in holes. Sunny, Bobby, and Uncle Balzac are, by the way, realistic puppet figures created by Emmy winner Hank Saroyan of Muppet Babies fame. Intermixed with beautifully photographed segments of hole-dwelling creatures is a recurring drama called "Meerkat Masterpiece Theatre," which follows meerkats as they dig for food and keep watch against the appearance of Phil the eagle and Jake the jackal. Traditional GeoKids features such as "Animal Doo-Wop," "Alphabet Rock," "Fascinating Flamingo Facts," and "Who's That, Living in the Water?" also figure prominently in the video. The rhythm & blues segment "Cool Cats" is especially catchy and contains simply breathtaking photographs of wild and domestic cats. Once again, the GeoKids series manages to capture the attention of even the most rambunctious preschooler. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews
Factual Fun For Everyone.
This video series is a must who prefer enducational videos to pointless miandering tv shows. If these videos were released a few years AFTER the Baby Einstein series became so popular (instead of a few years before) they would be hot!
I love these and my 3 year old loves these more. They feature 3 very life like puppets in a "natural setting" as uncle balzac (a chamelion) teaches 2 young animals who about different animals of the world. With beautiful national geographic footage of animals in nature (no animals in zoo's here) they cover different aspects of animals. With fun sing-alongs, funny puppets, and beautiful animals your child will be learning what a "mammal" or "nocturnal" is, which animals can fly, how animals find their food, different habbitats and more. In this particular video the young animals learn about animals that ive in holes-who/what/why/where/how's are all covered. They also dip into fun facts about cats and animals at the watering hole.

Cool Cats
I love the song "Cool Cats" because of those wild cats and house cats show up.
