Have been watching this show for a while. Very nice, calm and fun. The kids love it as well, and learn things like what a "fang" is. And come on, its about dinosaurs. Now get out there, get into nature and make your own discoveries!

This show is perfect! Educational but catchy enough to keep the attention of my 3 year old. He's obsessed with the show and will sit still for the time it's on.
