My Thoughts

My son is obsessed with dinosaurs. He watches everything he can find on TV about them, reads all the books, and collects anything with a dinosaur on it. So of course, he was super excited to watch Prehistoric Road Trip. In this documentary, Emily Gasile takes us on a road trip across the United States in search of fossils. She stops by the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Along the way, they unearth wonders from several different eras. 

This is an amazing documentary that teaches you all about the ancient history in our  country. It so incredible to imagine dinosaurs roaming. I'm also a fossil and stone collector so it was great seeing so many amazing pieces. If you 'd like to grab a copy of this amazing DVD for yourself, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at PBS.org or Amazon.
