What Color Is the Dino?

What Color Is the Dino? (in Spanish: ¿De qué color es el Dino?) is a Dony and the Dinos song for kids ages 0 to 4. Every color comes with a dino and its sound: red like the lava with Dony, green like the jungle leaves with Compys, pink like the flowers with Rommy, orange like the sun with Totopo, blue like the ocean with Mossy and yellow... and pink too! with Brayan. It ends with rain and a rainbow.

Fun fact for parentsFor almost 200 years nobody knew what color dinosaurs were. Recently, fossils with melanosomes, the tiny pigment sacs in feathers, made it possible to reconstruct the real color of some species.
