Review: DINOSAUR TRAIN “Dinosaur Big City” Screening Party

2 Comments

Today we hosted a special Dinosaur Train movie screening at our house. I connected with the folks at PBS Kids while at the EVO ’11 conference and because of that I’ll be doing some special reviews and posting some great info about PBS Kids on the blog. This is perfect because Eva is a huge fan of PBS Kids and the great programming that they have. Dinosaur Train is one of those terrific shows that is on PBS Kids. It is about a family of Pteradons and their adopted T-Rex son, Buddy. They go on some fun adventures through the many different time periods of prehistory. They get to the different time periods through a special train that goes through time tunnels. There is even a lesson about real dinosaurs at the end of each episode. Trains and dinos, ow can you go wrong with the hearts of kids everywhere. Well, the show was a hit and it is back for a second season starting Monday August 22. We were lucky enough to get a special DVD of a bunch of upcoming episodes including the big movie “Dinosaur Big City”.

There is also a handle on the back so that I can push when I need to. We were playing in the driveway for a while and she was doing pretty well. She was even starting to pedal a bit. But eventually she got tired of that and we walked around the front yard.
