This program brings information about the natural world of animals to viewers in a non-didactic, entertaining way. Its approach in no way diminishes the learning that takes place when observations lead to conclusions - and young minds will dray many conclusions about the natural world shown in this series. These conclusions are consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the natural sciences. They include concepts such as the functions of animals in an ecosystem (predator/prey relationships, etc.), the elements of animal classification, and the general emphasis on life science. The programs consist of original and detailed footage of animals, a narration, and a charming music score. They also include an interactive segment of multiple-choice questions about the animal world. The independence of the questions from the program material preserves the approach of learning from observation and the recognition of patterns, purpose, structure, and function. FCC qualified (E/I) educational, informational children's programming.
