For parents

Each song repeats one melody with one surprise per verse, puts the dance moves in the lyrics and lands in calm. Real paleontology facts included: Rommy the Raptor has feathers because Velociraptor did, and Peter the Pterodactyl isn't a dinosaur.

In English some names change: Vero is Rommy and María is Mossy. Signature sounds like GRAWR, twityti and púapúa stay the same in both languages.
