“The Dinosaur Train”

Finally my daughter is asking for something other than My Friends Tigger and Pooh. PBS Kids, sent us a preview copy of Dinosaur Train. We have been watching it at least once every day since we got it.

 

Site Sneak Peek: July 2009
Full Site Launch: mid-August 2009

Dinosaur train is a new CGI animated series by Jim Henson’s. It is 15 minutes long with cute musical songs to teach children about dinosaurs. Buddy doesn’t belong in the family of Ptederons but they accept him and make him part of the family. He happens to be a T-Rex. His Siblings are Tiny, Shiny, and Don. They all ride the Dinosaur Train, to learn new things. Each episode is summarized at the end by Scott D. Sampson, PH.D. – Paleontologist.  This preview disk had two different episodes. One was about Herbivores and the other was about working together. You can watch both episodes yourself on-line.

The Jim Henson Company, who brought us "Sid the Science Kid", has announced another PBS project called "Dinosaur Train" that is set to air for the first time on Monday, September 7, 2009.

They contacted me and asked me to tell all of my readers about it.

About Dinosaur Train:

An adopted preschool-age Tyrannosaurus Rex named Buddy is the star of the show. He and his Pteranodon siblings ride the Dinosaur Train to learn all about various dinosaurs as they go on their adventures. My kids love dinosaurs. There is something about going “RWWWAHHHHHHH” really loud that appeals to my son.
