My son, 3 and 1/2, has a tremendous dinosaur fixation. Its dinosaurs in the morning, dinosaurs at noon and dinosaurs at night. Stumbling across this show, seemed simply a great way to feed his thirst for dino knowledge. But in the past two years it has become a quick favorite in our home amongst kid and parents. For one, its smart, the titler star Dana, doles out a breadth of prehistoric knowledge on par with a studied paleontologist. No dumbing down, instead smartly guides using language and everyday scenarios which are relatable and fun. Its kind. Centering around Dana and her family unit, with Grandparents, Uncle and neighbor weaving through, Dana's Dinosaur Field Guide experiments seamlessly sew together scientific observation, while learning about emotional sensitivity, fairness and conflict solving. Its empowering, all characters in the show both children and adults are encouraged to be observant of their world, to play and remain curious. The characters are sincere, warm and funny, the plots are clever and relevant. And the effects department seem to find a sweet spot creating loving depictions of very large and sometimes terrifying creatures which are engaging and sweet. I can't recommend this show enough to a family who loves dinosaurs, or a family who wishes to view more educational shows in their home. Keep the seasons coming Amazon!
