All Aboard the Dinosaur Train! Four New Episodes to Premiere Starting May 24 on PBS Kids

PBS Kids will be airing four new episodes of the CG-animated preschool series Dinosaur Train from The Jim Henson Company. Airing May 24-27, the special summer vacation-themed episodes find the family packing up and boarding the train to discover the wonderful variety of dinosaurs inhabiting the globe as they journey to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Also joining this trip is a new character, Gilbert, the conductor’s young nephew.
In addition, two new games will be featured at PBSKIDS.org/dinosaurtrain. The All Aboard game (launching in May) will give kids control of the Dinosaur Train as a junior conductor, helping to seat different types of dinosaurs as the train moves from station to station. In Dinosaur Tracks (available now) Buddy and his friends are making tracks in the mud, and kids can help them figure out which footprint comes next.
