My [...] year old loves this set. He also has Walking with Monsters and Chased by Dinosaurs. He even watches the extras, which explain the computer animation, and the research that went into creating the series. Not all parents might find it appropriate for kids his age, since it shows animals doing all the things animals normally do, including defecating, mating, and killing prey.

You get 5 dvd's in this collection. One dvd is entirely devoted to 'Big Al' the Alasaurus who's fossil was discovered in Montana where now a gravesite exists(149 million B.C-'Big Al'[The Predator Who Couldn't] because he died at 6(a year before his prime) of exposure waiting for rain to come to a dried up river. The poor guy was pretty banged up including a severely infected/swollen toe that pretty much spelled his doom. On the main disc you get 8 30 minute episodes of 'Walking W Dinosaurs' that starts with the early Triassic(the birth of dinosaurs) and ends with the End of Cretaceous Extinction(the end of them except the birds which are dinosaurs although they don't look much like them). Each episode deals in depth with different dinosaurs,the huge fern eating ones, the not so huge but heavily armored ones, the carniverous ones, the marine reptiles, the dinosaurs that lived at the South Pole 106 million years ago before the planet started to freeze and T-Rex who evolved just a few million years before the end of them. Even without the comet strike it seems they were on their way out due to a massive and fast increase in volcanism(but not on the scale of the Permian Extinction). It's good alternative viewing to Sunday football. Disc 3 is 'Walking With Beasts' and covers the period from 50 million years ago to about 30,000 years ago,(just about the time Cro-Magnums were offing the last of the Neanderthals). It's just as good as 'Walking W Dinosaurs' and has a very well done take on the dawn of humanity I think. The other two discs deal with the making of the previous 2 discs. This collection does not include 'Walking W Monsters' which is also very good but you'll have to buy it separately.

This was a great set. Anyone with an interest in our planets history should buy this set. I and all of my kids enjoyed it tremendously. Cant go wrong with this collection for young or old.

My kids love every disk. It's pretty brutal in it's realistic treatment of the dinosaurs hunting and eating--but scientifically fascinating.

Our five year old grandson loves dinosaurs. This is an amazing collection because the dinosaurs are so real. It is an excellent collection to have to view the evolution and history of the dinosaurs.
