American Teaching Aids “Our Dinosaur Friends”

For this weeks Wacky Wednesday song I turn to a teaching record. This was made by the American Teaching Aids company which as far as I know is no longer in business. On the back of the record sleeve is the lyrics to all the songs so I included them in this mp3 and since I think no one is making money off this record anymore (besides the thrift store I bought it from for a dollar years ago) you can download this song.

There was demand from enough people I recorded the entire record, you can now get the full album here. Feel free to leave a comment if you or your kids like the record.

Vocals by Pam Johnson, Wayne Parker and Eric Miller.
Produced by Art Barduhn.

    You’re never gonna believe this but my 5 yr old just walked into the room and went nuts for this song. Can you rip the whole thing? Do they all sound similar?

  • Hey Joe. The first few songs are about one dinosaur each, then the song I posted then a narration track and on the B Side is instrumentals for the songs. sure ill rip the rest, you gotta help out the kids right. Will rip the record in the next few days and throw the link up in the comments so keep an eye out.


  • joe

    Thanks. Cool blog. I’ll keep my eyes open.


  • joe

    Thanks Charlie. The kids love this thing. I don’t think I can say the same for the girls running the day care. The copy I took with him supposedly got played three times throughout the day. Twice back to back. Thanks to you a new generation of kids will be humming these for years…unless the cd gets smashed.

    Great clip. I would love to have a copy of the whole album. It was a mainstay in my son’s childhood some 25 years ago. Emailed him a clip of the T-Rex song…… know what he was humming all day.

    EDIT this comment was sent to the contact page and i moved it to this spot – CB

    I am a kindergarten teacher and have been looking for the Our Dinoaur Friends songs. I see that you have downloaded a song from the album and mentioned downloading all the songs. I would love a copy! If that is possible. Thank you so much. :) I know my kiddos would love it.

    EDIT I moved this from the contact page to this one just to keep things all together – CB

    Imagine my amazement when I came across the ‘Dinosaur Album’. Do you have only this album or both? I, together with my former husband owned American Teaching Aids, Inc. (ATA)
