PBS Kids Curious George takes an Australian Adventure December 3rd

Most of us grew up reading Curious George and now our children are able to enjoy him on PBS Kids.  Curious George is in its seventh season and is television’s number one series for preschoolers.  They are opening their seventh season with a trip down under and animal conservationist Bindi Irwin is making a special appearance.  I am so excited to see her continue the work her father, Steve Irwin, started years ago.  This episode “Monkey Down Under” takes George and The Man with the Yellow Hat south for an Australian Outback Adventure.  While The Man with the Yellow Hat goes sea cow sightseeing, George decides to stay behind to investigate a set of giant footprints in the sand.  He wonders if it could be a mysterious hopping clown rabbit?  Or perhaps… a baby kangaroo.

Bindi teaches George about koalas, emus, kangaroos and more on December  3rd on PBS Kids and check your local listings!  Executive Production Dorothea Gillim says that “Bindi Irwin serves as the perfect guide to introduce Australia’s unique animal world to George and young viewers at home.” (Source: PBS Kids press release).

 

So kick back and enjoy watching Curious George make new friends and learn about Australia!
