My daughter asked me this morning if she could print out some dinosaur pictures on the computer. When she was finished she showed me the roughly dozen "fact sheets" on each of them and then sorted the dinosaurs that belonged to either the Jurassic Period or the Cretaceous Period.She apparently became interested in dinosaurs from a show on PBS Kids called Dinosaur Train.
I learned that Dinosaur Train is an animated series produced by the Jim Henson Company for PBS Kids. The series features a curious young T.Rex named Buddy who, together with his adopted Pteranodon family, takes a Dinosaur Train to meet, explore, and have adventures with all kinds of dinosaurs.
It premiered on Labor Day 2009. Forty half-hour episodes have been ordered by PBS Kids so far. Each episode is followed by a live-action segment featuring Dinosaur Train educational consultant and world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Scott D. Sampson, who appears onscreen to explain the show’s dinosaur curriculum in greater detail.
