Dragon gets a letter from his friend Victoria, a T-Rex who is on tour at the Houston Museum of Natural Science! We travel there with Dragon to visit her and along the way learn all about dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles. Our friends at the museum, Matti and Kelsey, lead us through a touch tour of different dino-related artifacts, show us how paleontologists identify and classify different prehistoric creatures, and teach us how to really walk like a T-Rex. Back in New York, we write about and design our own dinosaurs (and prehistoric reptiles!) with Donnie!

This episode is all about routines, the things we do every day. As we learn what it means to have a routine, we meet the LWA Train a subway train who talks about maps, routes, and transfers. We sing the Morning Routine Song with some old friends and finally design our own maps to help navigate our days.

"Symphony of Snivels"

A symphony of snivels 

everyone plays their part, 

from the quiet and polite

to the loudest SNORT!

A symphony of snivels

for everyone to hear,

they practice spring through fall,

for their big Winter premier.

It's a symphony of snivels

grab a tissue or a cloth

and if you want an encore

well you better get a mop!

A short poem about a nice idea.

"The Love Truck"

The love truck carries all my colors

Reds, blues, greens, and yellows

It picks them up from all over town

and drops them off if I’m feeling down

A swirling whirling poem about how it feels to get a creative idea, or one too many creative ideas. 

"Tornado Brain"  

Tornado brain! 

Tornado brain! 

I hope it doesn’t start to rain!

 I’m scared of lightning,

 I’m scared of thunder, 

and rain in my brain

 would be a real blunder.  

Tornado brain! 

Tornado brain!

I hope I don’t get blown away!

My head’s so clouded up with thoughts

I can’t remember what I forgot

Tornado brain!

Tornado brain!

Swirling dreams I can’t contain. 

They pick me up 

and spin me round

topsy-turvy

upside down!

It's always frustrating to lose a good recipe! 

"Walrus Stew"

Where’s my recipe for walrus stew? 

I know it takes both tusks 

and a little salt too. 

It must call for whiskers 

and flippers, 

but was it one lump of blubber or two? 

Ugh! 

Where’d I put that recipe for my walrus stew?
