Zoboo, Chris and Martin discover that there are lots of different places our animal friends call home: trees, rivers and even mounds of dirt make some of the best homes on earth. Zoboo finds himself an unlikely guest in the nest of an American Bald Eagle, and Chris and Martin help a Beaver build a lodge. Now Zoboo knows there really is no place like home....
Amazon.com PBS's preschool-targeted wildlife series Zoboomafoo, a favorite among animal lovers young enough to train their focus on the show's rapid-fire scene changes without relying on toothpicks to prop open their eyelids, which have the pesky tendency to blink, explores a bevy of diverse habitats in its third video. Crashing into hosts the Kratt brothers' humble Animal Junction abode to get things rolling is a flying squirrel, which everybody, lively lemur pal Zoboo included, finds fascinating because it calls whatever hole's available home. The hyperactive trio then considers other creatures' way-out domestic lives: Zoboo holds the fort while the brothers, who sometimes come off as cloyingly curious but most often redeem themselves with wide-eyed, genuine-seeming enthusiasm, head off on fact-finding field trips that open doors to the uncomfortable-seeming homes of porcupines, eagles, and naked mole rats, among exotic others. Spicing things up throughout are slices of silly animation starring the squealing Zoboo, who never can believe his mind, as he puts it, at all the cool things he's learning, as well as guessing games ("Who could this animal be--can you help me guess this mystery?") and simple educational songs. Frequent zoo-goers and those who find every Fido on the block irresistible will love it; so will outdoorsy kids who, when they're vicariously visiting wildlife, don't mind a little slapstick between a couple of grown brothers thrown in. --Tammy La Gorce
