Dinosaur Train Books REVIEW

    If you remember I was invited along with a So Cal Pocket Memories winner to a Jim Henson Company and SoCal PBS presents Dinosaur Train - National Train Day Event.

    We are big fans of Dinosaur Train so when I was invited to participate in a review for Dinosaur Train Books The Buddy & Friends board book, A Surprise for Mom, and Tiny Learns to Fish I jumped to the chance and said of course!

    When I received the books my son was delighted.  Right away he wanted me to start reading.  As the pages turned he would say "That's Buddy...he is a T-Rex and eats meat" and "That triceratops eats plants".  I loved seeing him intrigued by the books.  So for a whole week (so far) we have had to read the books to him every night before bed.  Today I saw him "reading" the book to himself.  He had memorized the words!  He did such a great job.

    The Buddy and Friends Board Book
    from Grosset & Dunlap, join Buddy as he travels aboard the DINOSAUR TRAIN to introduce kids to some of his friends. Packed with full-color images from the show, this simple book is a perfect introduction to DINOSAUR TRAIN's many species! SRP $5.99. Ages 3–5.

    A Surprise for Mom!
    from Grosset & Dunlap, is a beautiful picture book that follows Buddy and his siblings as they begin to plan something special for Mrs. Pteranodon on her special day. Read along as Team Pteranodon searches high and low for the best gifts ever! SRP $3.99. Ages 3–5.


    Tiny Learns to Fish
    from Grosset & Dunlap. The first reader in the Dinosaur Train program follows Mr. Pteranodon as he takes the kids to the big pond to teach them how to fish. There's just one problem. Tiny can't catch a fish, and Buddy can't fly, so they team up to catch fish together! This Level 1 reader is perfect for young fans, who are starting to read on their own. SRP $3.99. Ages 3–5.


    Dinosaur Train's "Buddy" is participating for the first time this year in May's Get Caught Reading Month, organized by the Association of American Publishers as part of its annual nationwide campaign devised to remind people of all ages how much fun it is to read.



    The hit television series Dinosaur Train airs daily on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
