DinoRock discography DREAMOSAURUS was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Musical Album For Children. DinoRock is a touring theater company that incorporates stuffed dinosaurs to educate and entertain children. In the case of DREAMOSAURUS, plenty of human "Dreamweavers" (children, a mom, and a dad) join the prehistoric thespians to help kids understand what goes on after you fall asleep. It is the job of the Dreamweavers to show up during dreamtime and give advice. "Mom says that dreaming is my imagination keeping up with me while I sleep," a child says early in the CD. What can you do about bad dreams? "I'm Not a Bird Brain" explains that laughing is a good trick, making any scary dinosaur evaporate. "I Know What to Do" and "Moms to the Rescue" let you know that in dreams, and even waking reality, you can always call on your mom to help you out. For the legions of kids who "think of dinosaurs all day, and dream about them all night," DREAMOSAURUS is especially appropriate.
