James Preller described his political affiliation as "frustrated Democrat".
Quotations: "The show, conceived by Martin and Chris Kratt, takes a wild, wacky, and sometimes irreverent look at nature. It dares to be funny. In the books, I’m trying to do the same thing — deliver up-to-date scientific information, but in a fun-filled format that leaves room for humor and silliness. On the other hand, I’m also eager to write more easy-to- read books. Charlotte Zolotow told me once in an interview that ideas come ‘when you are thinking that you’re not thinking.’ So I’ve been trying really hard not to think these days. Great work, if you can get it."
James Preller married Maria Buhl (a writer and editor) on September 3, 1988. They have three children, Nicholas, Gavin, and Maggie.
