Testimonials
Vicki Carter, Principal, Morningside Elementary School:
"Songs from "The Ancient Dinoshow!" were a hit at my school. The theme for our Red Ribbon Week was dinosaurs, and we played a different song from the CD each morning over the PA. The students loved the songs which are educational, have fun rhythms, and are performed by elementary students. Students came to the office during their recesses and wanted to listen to the songs again.
"The Ancient Dinoshow!" CD and songbook is an excellent resource for teachers to use to integrate curriculum. The songs can be used to teach science and music. They can also be used to supplement literature, writing, and art. The lyrics provide both students and teachers with factual information.
I recommend "The ancient Dinoshow!" as a fun and educational resource to be used in elementary school classrooms."

"THE ANCIENT DINOSHOW! is a fabulous compilation of dinosaur facts mixed with memorable melodies. The use of children's voices and special rhythmic effects facilitate students' recall as they identify with the varied musical genres. While teaching primary grades, I have observed a much higher retention of facts which are presented to music. Children with varied learning styles have begged to hear and sing these fun selections repeatedly. John Pittenger is a gifted musician who has really captured our prehistoric reptilian past in a delightful assortment. This CD is a must for anyone who participates in the lives of children."
Michelle Kerr, parent & educator:
"I just wanted to write you a quick note thanking you for creating such a wonderful CD. I have taught both preschool and kindergarten, including countless lessons on dinosaurs, and have never come across such fun and informative music to use in the classroom. I especially appreciate the use of all their scientific names, the meanings, and the data given about the different dinosaurs' life styles and eating habits. I personally learned a lot from "The Ancient Dinoshow" and occasionally find myself singing "Vela, Vela, Velociraptor" in the shower.
My two sons, ages three and five, cannot get enough of the CD. From the moment we opened the package it's been in one of our CD players. It started in the car where we would listen to it every time we traveled. Now it has found its new home in their bedroom and is the music they listen to as they fall asleep every night. They also play it when their friends come over, then they get out their dinosaurs and play and sing together. I would recomment this collection to every parent and teacher whose children have a love for dinosaurs. Everybody ages three to ninety three can enjoy it and learn something new! Thanks again."
Christine Osborne, parent & educator:
"My young students love 'The Ancient Dinoshow'. They enjoy the wonderful music and fun lyrics. While they bounce and tap to the beat, they learn and remember facts about dinosaurs. As a teacher, I enjoy the fun way to involve the children in learning and that I appreciate this easy access to such a wealth of information. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys music and learning."
