PBS Kids and The Jim Henson Company are partnering up on a new series titled Dinosaur Train. The initial order is for 40 episodes and the series is set to debut in fall of 2009.

The new series embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while encouraging basic scientific thinking and skills as the audience learns about natural science, natural history and paleontology. It’s the type of show that PBS Kids has been embracing with many of their newer shows focusing on typical school subjects (Super Why, Word World, It’s a Big Big World).

The series is a second partnership The Jim Henson Company as it joins SID THE SCIENCE KID, which premiered in fall 2008.

DINOSAUR TRAIN is seen through the eyes of Buddy, a preschool-aged Tyrannosaurus Rex.  Buddy and his adoptive family of Pteranodons go for adventures on the Dinosaur Train to meet all kinds of dinosaurs in different eras and learn fascinating new facts about these incredible creatures.
