THE DINOSAUR TRAIN Review

Do your kids like watching trains? How about dinosaurs? Well my kids just discovered a new show that combines both of those things together. They love it! It is called Dinosaur Train and it airs on PBS Kids. It is a cute show that kids can learn and explore with the great dinosaur family the Pteranodon family. They are traveling all over from country to country and learning new stuff. It is a great preschool aged show but honestly even my 7 , 9 and 11 year old liked it. The cute characters and the stories are easy to understand but so interesting I even found myself getting into it. I love PBS for this reason they always have cute educational shows that my kids love and I dont mind them watching. We have watched Dinosaur Train quite a few times a week the last couple weeks. It has become a hit at our house. They cant wait to see what adventures they go on next. I definitely recommend tis adorable show!

Beginning Monday, May 24, PBS KIDS will be airing four new episodes of the hit CG-animated preschool series DINOSAUR TRAIN™ from The Jim Henson Company. Children of all ages can climb aboard the DINOSAUR TRAIN with Buddy and the entire Pteranodon family as they embark on a roaring, exploring, World Tour adventure in these new summer-themed vacation episodes. Airing May 24-27, the special week finds the family packing up and boarding the train to discover the wonderful variety of dinosaurs inhabiting the globe as they journey to Asia, Europe and Africa. Also joining this trip is a new character Gilbert, the conductor’s young nephew.
