My Thoughts:
I
have a handful of Dinosaur Train DVDs, which our family loved. So,
when I heard about this new release, I had to get my hands on a copy to
review and add to our growing collection. This new release couldn't
have come at a better time, as Savannah has been working hard to learn
her ABC's. Even though she is nowhere near repeating the long names of
the dinosaurs, she did enjoy hearing about in alphabetical order.
I remember growing up that dinosaurs were big with boys. But, after watching this hit series with my daughter on PBS Kids, I can see why so many girls are getting into natural science and learning about dinosaurs. The Pteranodon family makes learning about dinosaurs so much for. And, when Dr. Scott comes on after each episode to recap about the dinosaurs learned about in the episode, it is a great way to open up lines of discussion with young children, and get them thinking about the animals who roamed the Earth before us.
This new DVD release contained 5 action packed episodes, one of which is a holiday themed episode ("Festival of Lights"). We enjoyed watching this holiday episode, as we are getting into the holiday spirit. If your child enjoys Dinosaur Train, why not surprise them with a copy of DINOSAUR TRAIN: DINOSAURS A TO Z on DVD today. Since receiving this DVD, we have watched it over a dozen times, and loved each viewing. You will not be disappointed with the episodes included on this new DVD release.

And, as for the lift the flap board book, this has become one of Savannah's favorite book store to play with on her own. I remember that as a child I used to love books like these, where you would have to open a door or lift a flap to exposure a mystery behind it. Dinosaur Train fans will get a kick out of this interactive book that has over 45 lift the flap pieces, full of surprises. This is one book I will be bringing for those upcoming long car trips to visit the relatives and friends this upcoming holiday season. I don't have to be next to Savannah reading the story with her, for her to enjoy this board book, featuring all your favorite characters from the hit animated series, Dinosaur Train.
So, if you have a Dinosaur Train fan in your house, while not pick up this gift bundle to surprise them with? Both the book and DVD will provide then with hours of enjoyable, while learning about dinosaurs.
