Dinosaur Train Review and Little One Books

I found a great site called Little One Books. This site sells all kinds of awesome childrens products, mainly books, music and movies. But the cool thing about Little One Books is that they categorize everything by a recommended age for each product. A lot of times while looking for books for my children I sometimes wonder if its at a level that they will be able to appreciate and enjoy. With Little One Books they help you figure that out by giving an age recommendation for each product. AWESOME! The categories go from birth up to age 5, hence the "Little Ones" in the name. The store was created by grandparents and each and every product is used and 'tested' before being sold by their expert team. I love to hear when companies actually use the products they sell. So I had the opportunity to an item from their store to review for you. This was such a hard decision. They have so many great products. I thought about "The Best Mouse Cookie" which they recommend for 2 year old's. It is based on the book series "If you give a mouse a cookie." Which we LOVE to read. As I kept looking I found the DVD Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs in the Snow. This is recommended for children age 3 and up and my son isn't quite yet 2 1/2 but I really wanted to get this. We watch PBS at home and the Dinosaur Train is one of our favorites.
I personally love the fun songs and music that the show has as well as all the great learning it provides. My son loves trying to say the names of the different dinosaurs and we learn lots of neat facts from this video. One reason I picked this was because if featured snow. We are in the middle of winter so I thought it would be fun. There is also a episode on this DVD about coniferous trees and why they don't loose their needles but all the other trees loose their leaves.

I know some people don't allow their younger children to watch much tv or any at all but I don't mind letting my son watch a show or two a day. It helps me get some things done, like write up some blog posts (hehe). And the shows we do watch are all educational shows, we love PBS!

Here is a little about the Dinosaur Train taken from Little One Books
Dinosaur Train embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while sparking an interest in life science, natural history, and paleontology. The show encourages children to compare the characteristics of ancient animals with those that are alive today. As they explore a variety of interesting animals past and present, children develop the inquiry skills and core knowledge needed to help them think, talk and act like scientists.
