Little kids are big fans of the animated PBS Kids television show, “Wild Kratts.” They can watch the adventures of the real life Martin and Chris Kratt in “Wild Kratts Live,” 1 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. Sunday, April 10 at Rosemont Theatre, 5400 N. River Road, Rosemont.
As usual, the Kratts will be saving animals in, “To the Creature Rescue!” The Kratt Brothers will don their Creature Power Suits to retrieve their favorite invention from a comic villain in order to keep the animals of the world safe. In the process, there will be pratfalls galore but kids will also learn some interesting facts about animals.
The Kratts are known for their silliness but there’s a serious message behind this show and the television series. Their not-for-profit Kratt Brothers Creature Hero Society has created nature reserves to protect critical wildlife habitats.
So this show is about safeguarding endangered animals as well as entertaining and educating.
Tickets are $27.75-$97.75
