He looks and talks like he\u2019s fascinated with the dinosaurs. I also like his grandma in the first episode. She is great at relating to the kids.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite episode is the one where Trek talks about going to a science school with his friend and his friend\u2019s dad. They talk about robots and how they are made. Trek teaches us about how dinosaurs are protective of their offspring. Trek takes us to a go-cart course where he talks about how fast certain dinosaurs are. The friends race the dinosaurs and learn a lesson about the tortoise and the hare.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1089 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dinodan.e.png?resize=249%2C143\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dinodan.e.png?w=348&amp;ssl=1 348w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dinodan.e.png?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like learning about dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, there are lots of plot holes that left me wondering what was going on. I enjoyed the concepts of each episode, but found myself getting somewhat bored. Also, in the five episodes, the same dinosaurs are featured in four of them which I found very repetitive. They don\u2019t really change the facts up, so basically three episodes tell the same thing in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>This DVD is a compilation of five episodes that aired on Nick Jr. including <em>Dino Go Seek<\/em>, <em>Train of <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1096 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.e.jpg?resize=253%2C142\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.e.jpg?w=708&amp;ssl=1 708w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.e.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/>Dino\u2019s<\/em>, <em>Robots &amp; Dino\u2019s<\/em>, <em>Dino Clash <\/em>and <em>Dino Racing.<\/em> In <em>Dino Go Seek<\/em>, Trek learns about dinosaurs during a game of hide and seek.

This is very creative and I love the variety.<\/p>\n<p>The main character Trek is played by Trek Buccino. \u00a0Jordyn Nergri plays Hannah. Katherine Forrester plays Penelope. Bobby is played by Colin Petierre. His brilliant facial expressions are one of my favorite things. Each episode has its own moral. The clearest message ii in <em>Dino Clash. <\/em>It is about teamwork because, in the end they have to work together to get to the finish line.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1091 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.c.jpg?resize=251%2C141\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.c.jpg?w=427&amp;ssl=1 427w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dinodan.c.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I loved the variety of styles in this DVD so I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
