Dino Dan DVD set giveaway

What kid doesn't love dinosaurs?  Even three year olds know what a T-Rex is, and I'm willing to bet that most kids can identify more dinosaurs than most adults!  So what is behind kids’ fascination with dinosaurs?  Freelance writer and book author Bob Strauss pondered this question for About.com and came up with some pretty solid explanations!!

• For starters, he believes kids like dinosaurs because the huge, dangerous creatures are extinct, so kids know that dinosaurs are not a threat.
• He also believe that dinosaurs are also role models for kids because dinosaurs are big and nobody tells them what to do – the exact opposite of a kid, who is small and is always being told how to behave.
• Kids also like the size and scope of dinosaur skeletons, definitely a cool factor!
• And they also like the possibility that, like Matt Larson, a paleontologist for the Black Hills Institute of Geologic Research, they too might be able to someday discover dinosaur fossils – as he did just this summer in the plains of northeast Wyoming!

If your child can't get enough of dinosaurs, check out Dino Dan, the popular live action/CGI series on Nick Junior.  Jason Spevack plays Dino Dan, and he interacts with over a dozen cool CGI dinos who are running all around his school and neighborhood. The show teaches kids some fun dino facts but it also features situations that kids handle every day, like having to play with your little brother, going to the dentist, or trying to win at hide 'n' seek.

Dino Dan DVDs are now available in a special 4-pack through NCircle Entertainment beginning September 24, 2013. With a suggested retail price of $24.99 for four DVDs – Ready, Set, DINO!; Dino Trackers; To Catch a Dino! and Cretaceous Creatures! – the Dino Dan 4-pack also includes a bonus augmented reality feature on the DVD package that, when the code is scanned, brings dinosaurs to life! The four-pack is available at Target stores nationwide from September 24.
