I received a DVD of both PBS Releases for September, in exchange for this review, however, as always opinions are 100% my own. Some of the links in this post are ‘affiliate links.’ This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
September PBS Releases
Growing up the Berenstain Bears were one of my favorites, and the tradition continued with Liz and little did I know she enjoyed them as much as I did. Now that I’m a Grandma I’ve enjoyed introducing some of the older classics to Tater (our grandson!) I love that PBS teaches kids at a young age and leaves a lasting impression on all kids.
The Berenstain Bears: Treehouse Tales Vol 1
“Tree House Tales Volume 1” contains 26 stories from the beloved Bear family, which includes Visit the Dentist, when sister gets her first loose tooth! Brother teases her and tells her the dentist will remove the tooth with a big yanking tool. Sister becomes afraid of sitting in the dentist chair until she watches Brother get a cavity filled. She discovers she was afraid for no reason. In Mama’s New Job, Mama opens her own quilt shop. Papa and the cubs wonder how they will cope around the house without her, but once they band together to support Mama’s new endeavor, the Bear family makes it work! In the episode, Out for the Team, Brother and Sister try out for Bear Country’s baseball team, The Cardinals. There’s only one problem: there’s only one spot left on the team! Brother is worried he will lose to his kid sister, so he backs out of the competition. Sister steps up with some encouraging words for Brother, which inspires him to stick with it. Then in Lost in a Cave, Papa and the Bear Scouts are on a spelunking expedition, which scares Cousin Fred because he’s afraid of dark, spooky caves. While the cubs help Fred realize there’s a logical explanation for everything that may seem scary, the group gets lost. Will they find their way back to Bear Country?

DINOSAUR TRAIN: Dinosaurs Big and Small
“Dinosaurs Big and Small” contains 10 fun-filled adventures with Buddy, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, his friends and adoptive Pteranodon family, who travel on a special train and explore the world. In How Many Horns, best friends Buddy and Tank Triceratops share a love for comparing features. Tank, who has 3 horns, wonders why Mayor Kosmoceratops has 15, and Protoceratops has only 1. Buddy, Tank and the gang go on a quest to track down Ceratopsians, and they end up meeting “the Queen,” an amazing Late Cretaceous Regliceratops, who has a very decorative frill that almost rivals Kosmoceratops for number of horns. Then, the gang heads to Jurrasic China in The Tiny-Saur Train, where the search is on to find the tiniest dinosaur of all. In We’re Not All Dinosaurs, the Pteranodon kids meet a new, small mammal friend, Adele Alphadon, and introduce her to their Big Pong friend, Cindy Cimolestes, to a new concept – that not all Mesozoic creatures are dinosaurs! And in Clubhouse of Their Own, the kids want their own hangout that’s separate from the family nest. They try out several locations, but none of them are the right fit. But with the help of Mom and Dad, the group builds their own clubhouse using natural materials.
