My Review:

As you can tell, there are many episodes to keep kids entertained for a while. I had never previously seen Dinosaur Train on TV before, but this DVD is fun, wholesome entertainment for younger children. All of the characters are lively and likeable. In addition to being an enjoyable DVD to watch, it is educational. Children learn facts about dinosaurs while they watch the adventures of Buddy, an adopted T. Rex, and his friends.
