Maggie loves the PBS Kids series Dinosaur Train and Sid the Science Kid.  With Halloween soon approaching, I was excited for us to review Dinosaur Train’s newest book – The Spooky Scavenger Hunt. (Keep reading for the chance to win your own copy of the book!)

Targeted for ages 4-8, the Spooky Scavenger Hunt book takes readers along on a nighttime scavenger hunt with Mr. Pteranodon, Buddy and Tiny.  Their adventures lead them to the Big Pond using their five senses to discover new things along with the Conductor.  This book offers a fun, colorful story ….and isn’t too spooky to scare your little ones!

In Haunted Roundhouse, dad takes the kids on a special Night Train to Troodon Town, where the Troodons have decoratedtheir Roundhouse into a “haunted house” for a spooky party.

In Halloween Spooky Science Special, it’s Halloween time and Sid and his friends have dressed up in the spookiest and scariest costumes possible.  Sid is a bat with big fangs.  The kids investigate how bats are helpful creatures that catch mosquitoes, spiders are expert engineer web builders, cats are leaping aerial acrobats, and skeletons help hold up our body frames!  At the Halloween party, the kids also investigate how to make icky, gooey green slime.  Susie then ends the day with a special “Halloween Parade” song so the kids can march around and show off their spooky and scientific costumes!
