The most popular kids' show on PBS is going to feature Australian animals and the late Steve Irwin's 14-year-old daughter, Bindi.
From Gather.com:
Curious George is going to Australia for his seventh season premiere, and while he's there, he's going to learn about Australian animals from none other than Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
When the monkey and The Man in the Yellow Hat go to Australia, George finds giant footprints in the sand. What can they be? Bindi Irwin helps him find out about that, and about kangaroos, koalas, emus, and more, according to an article at TV By the Numbers.
The episode, titled "Monkey Down Under," starts a whole season of animal-themed shows in which the monkey will learn about all sorts of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles.
"I was so excited to be a part of Curious George," says Irwin in the article. "He's my favorite monkey, I've loved him my whole life. It's wonderful he could help me teach kids about the beaut bonza animals that live around my home at Australia Zoo."
