Buddy and
his friends are super excited. Their favorite holiday is coming—the Winter
Solstice! Kids travel on the holiday train to the North Pole where the Pteranodon
family has the chance to build snow dinosaurs, play a prehistoric game of ice
hockey, and meet some new friends. Secondary learning activities which
reinforce learning concepts are included, and over 45 flaps hide fun surprises
that kids will want to find again and again!
Our Thoughts
My daughter loved the holiday book from Dinosaur Train. Each page has secret compartments that open up and reveal unique surprises. I also loved that the book was centered around the Winter Solstice, which is the holiday that my family celebrates. There aren't many books that acknowledge the solstice so this made it an extra special addition to our collection.

Solstice Time - While visiting the North Pole, the Conductor suggests
that the family stop off at Aurora Borealis Station on an enormous frozen lake
to see the Aurora Borealis, where the Northern Troodons celebrate a

the Aurora Borealis, they work up an ice-skating show to entertain Mom and Dad.
Everyone joins in to sing "Solstice Time is Here" and skate under the
lights!
Our Thoughts
This DVD is a great choice for a holiday stocking stuffer for preschool children. It helps them learn the alphabet while introducing them to all their favorite dinosaurs on the train. The DVD is 110 minutes so its a great deal for the low price, and it even includes a special holiday episode. My daughter was glued to her seat through the whole show. This is a DVD every Dinosaur Train fan needs in their collection.
