Christmas Gift? Dinosaur Train! PJ's, Slippers and Holiday Book Review-PLUS Book Giveaway

Dinosaur Train!  seems like a favorite of most kids.  My boys in particular.  "Once, upon a time, there was a mom, her name was Mrs. Pteranodon."  Ok, maybe I love it too!!  

One of our favorite things to do is get in some comfy pajamas and sit and have family reading time. This holiday season why not get your little guy a Dinosaur Train pajama set and slippers and sit him down and read him a Dinosaur Train! book.  I think that is a great idea for a themed reading night!!!

  

Check out these comfy pj's with Buddy, the curious T-Rex and his Pteranodon pals Shiny, Tiny & Don! The pajama bottoms have an all-over print of Tiny posing on some prehistoric leaves in a primitive camouflage. The short-sleeve top features the dingo friends with contrasting sleeves. These 100% polyester pajamas are flame resistant for safety. Covered waistband. Machine Washable; Easy Care. Imported. Sizes 2T, 3T, 4T.

Available at webundies.com

My little preschooler screamed when he saw these.  He couldn't believe that they were his.  I had to turn on the DVR to Dinosaur Train! right away.  He loved wearing the pj's and decided he might like to wear them to the library for their pajama party next month!!!

Need Footies? Instead of regular pj's? Little ones will love to stomp around and roar in dreamland adventures when they wear these adorable infant and toddler boy's footie pajamas from Dinosaur Train. These cozy, colorful pajamas are made of soft fleece and have an easy zip closure, and non-skid footed bottoms. These 100% polyester pajamas are flame resistant for safety. Sizes: 12 months, 18 Months, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T.  Available at Kmart or Kmart.com

Not wearing the footie pajamas?  Then you definately need these Buddy the T-Rex moccasin slippers featuring cuddly soft uppers and an appliqué of Buddy with interesting T Rex facts. The thick, padded soles

are covered in a striped material with textured nubs for slip resistance. Sizes S, M, L.  Available at amazon.com

I love slippers!!  I love them all year long, but I think the boys especially need them during the cold weather. Of course having matching slippers to the pajamas made these even cooler for my preschooler!!

Don't forget to pick up a book to go with your bedtime attire!  Wouldn't be a reading night without it!! A Holiday with Buddy, is a new paperback from Penguin Young Readers Group!

This colorful 32-page paperback book is great for read-aloud holiday fun as it follows Buddy and his family on their search for the biggest Cretaceous conifers, better known to us as Christmas trees, they can find to decorate for the holiday.

The story is guaranteed to get everyone in the holiday spirit (and makes a wonderful holiday gift, too) and can be used to discuss when your family will decorate your home for the holidays and the significance of those decorations. For ages 3 and up. MSRP: $3.99. Available wherever books are sold.

I can never talk enough about reading.  My boys and I read every day.  This is such a cute little story.  Of course we had to test Buddy's hypothesis if tiny seedcones grew into big conifer trees......

Don't forget that coming up at PBS Kids on December 10 is a week of all-new episodes. New characters will be introduced – The Grandparents! Have your little ones snuggle up in their PJ’s and Slippers with the entire family to watch these fabulous new episodes! On December 10 tune in to PBS KIDS for “Tiny and the Crocodile”/“Meet the Grandparents” and on December 11 for “The Egg Stealer?”/ “To Grandparents Nest We Go!” the new episodes continue on December 12 with “Double-Crested Trouble”/“Erma and the Conductor” and “Dome-Headed Dinosaur”/”Treasure Hunt” on December 13.

Tiny and the Crocodile/Meet the Grandparents

Team Pteranodon travels to Dienosuchas Swamp to meet Deanna Dienosuchas, a 40 foot crocodile with many big teeth, and a crabby attitude. Tiny leads the way to warm up Deanna who turns out to be more friendly and less scary than our kids imagined.

The Pteranodon kids have special visitors – their Grandma and Grandpa! The kids delight in realizing they share similar traits with their grandparents (laughs, expressions, and interests), and love showing Grandma and Grandpa around the nest area and playing some games they all like.

The Egg Stealer?/To Grandparents' Nest We Go!

Buddy and Don stumble upon a mystery when they find unhatched eggs on their beach,

The mystery grows when some of the eggs are stolen. Don and Buddy become detectives and suspect that maybe Tiny, Shiny, or other friends may be stealing the eggs. They’re not. Soon, all the kids join in to solve the mystery, as they figure out that the eggs belong to an over-protective, caring mom named Olivia Oviraptor who is just trying to keep her eggs safe.

Buddy, Tiny, Shiny, and Don have fun spending a special day with their retired Grandma and Grandpa at their cliffside nest. The kids get to see things from their Dad’s childhood nature collection, and afterwards they play games and fish with Grandma and Grandpa.

The Jim Henson Company would like to give one of my readers a copy of "A Holiday For Buddy"
