Can you think of a 90's trilogy of movies involving dinosaurs wreaking havoc? If you said Jurassic Park, you're wrong. It's time for Prehysteria!
Prehysteria! tells the story of Rico Sarno, a museum curator, who enters a forbidden templ...e in South America and discovers a nest of five eggs. He steals them and brings th...em back to his museum. Frank Taylor, a farmer, sells fossils to Rico and in a mix up, the Taylor's dog takes a cooler which has the eggs. The kids discover the dinosaurs when they hatch and try to keep it a secret. Once Rico finds out the Taylors have them, he hires two robbers to help him get the dinosaurs back.
In Prehysteria! 2, the Taylor family has Mr. Cranston watches the mini dinosaurs while they are on vacation. The five miniature dinosaurs break out of the Taylor's farm and accidentally get shipped in a crate of raisins. The crate is found by Naomi and a rich kid named Brendan. When the two discover the raisin crate, they get into a argument on who should keep the dinosaurs. Naomi and Brendan later become friends and the miniature dinosaurs help the boy and try to save him from his evil Mistress.
Prehysteria! 3 was the last film of the series. This time, the five dinosaurs fall out of the back of Mr. Cranston's truck and they make their way to another family's home. The dinosaurs help the MacGregor family, who is struggling with their mini-putt golf course. Ella finds the dinosaurs and with her family's help, they re-build the golf course with a dinosaur theme. But Ella's evil uncle Hal is determined to take over the course by all means, and Ella and her parents must hide the mini dinosaurs to protect them from danger.
I checked out the entire series from this library dozens of times. Little did I know I would be writing about it 15 years later.Read More

As a
dinosaur enthusiast and paleontologist at heart, this week I will
be sharing some of my favorite dinosaurs from my own childhood.
We'll start off with Denver the Last Dinosaur! Airing in the late 1980's, this show featured a group of teenagers
who happen to find a dinosaur egg at the Labrea Tar Pit. It suddenly
hatches... and they make a new saurian friend. Denver and the gang run
into all sorts of mischief, but in the end they always manage to patch
things up. Sure to delight children of all ages, Denver will be their
friend and a whole lot more.Read More
