The morning needs to start with an abject apology. I, the only solely dedicated beaver reporter in the known universe, have failed in my sacred duty to let you know about all things castor. (Hangs head in shame.) I can’t defend the abject failure to report on something so important. This was the final episode of the first season in 2011! More years ago than I can accurately count on one hand.
That was just about the time that Jari Osborn’s documentary production for Canada (The beaver Whisperers) was wrapping up, so I suppose someone may have seen something? Some how this children’s program entirely escaped this child psychologist’s attention. Until now, when I saw an article discussing an upcoming event. Obviously over years of festivals kids must have mentioned it and I just assumed they were talking about the documentary or something else.
The series follows the ‘Kratt’ brothers exploring animal powers and appreciating the natural world. My pernicious failure is tempered by my abundant joy at the accurate portrayal of beaver works and why they matter. There isn’t one single thing I would change about this. Do you know how rare that is? It even has a troublesome otter that is not at all endearing for a
change. I can’t even claim they were informed by Jari’s awesome PBS documentary, since it aired before it. Please watch all the way through, and share with everyone you know. I wish we could play this at the beaver festival. It’s that good.
