Bookroo's summary

Miss Pym's class embarks on a wild journey aboard the Rocky Mountain Unlimited, a train that transports them to the age of dinosaurs. As they navigate this prehistoric world, they find themselves scrambling dinosaur eggs for breakfast, riding stegosauruses, and gliding with pterodactyls. With each new adventure, the class must adapt to their colossal reptilian companions. Can they survive this comic escapade and return to their own time, or will they be stuck playing soccer with dinosaurs forever?
