And in Big Pond Pumpkin Patch, the Pteranodon family learns more about the customs of their neighbors, the Lambeosaurus family, when they are invited for the first time to accompany them to the Big Pond to celebrate “Gourd Day” – a kind of Mesozoic Halloween.

The kids investigate how bats are helpful creatures that catch mosquitoes, spiders are expert engineer web builders, cats are leaping aerial acrobats, and skeletons help hold up our body frames!

Besides new shows and costumes....
There is now a new Dinosaur Train Book available!!!!
We just finished reading The Spooky Scavenger Hunt!
Once again, it is a cute book that not only lets us see what our favorite Dinosaur Train Characters are up too, it is also teaches us about the Dinosaurs. That is why I love this show as well as watching Broxton get all excited!

Although this is released for Halloween, it really doesn't focus on Halloween.

I love that it is a "spooky" book, but it isn't scary so that kids of all ages can enjoy it!

With this new book, we go on a Night Train and go on...
Yes, a spooky scavenger hunt!
It is basically having us use our senses to find the different things on the list..
(Example, listen to hear a frog... )

It is cute and just like the show, the illustration is adorable!
Just an FYI, Don and Shiny are too spooked to go, so they are not in this book.
