The Jim Henson Company has partnered with France Télévisions on the production of a series of "Dinosaur Train" shorts for the France 5 channel.

Set to debut in December, the 26 shorts will educate young viewers about the letters of the alphabet. Each short features an island shaped like a letter. Aboard the Dinosaur Train, Buddy and his friends travel from one island to the next, where they learn about animals, plants and other objects that begin with the letter of the island.

Henson is also currently in production on the fourth season of the "Dinosaur Train."
