A personalised dinosaur book where your child helps a baby dinosaur home

One morning there's a giant footprint in the flower bed. With a magnifying glass from home, your child follows the footprints out through the garden gate, into a land of giant ferns — where a baby dinosaur has lost its family.

A giant footprint

A painted storybook page: two girls crouching in a flower bed with their hands spread beside an enormous footprint in the soil
A footprint pressed deep into the flower bed, far too big for any dog — and more of them, leading out of the gate.

The trail runs out

A painted storybook page: two girls on their hands and knees on a flat rock, peering at the stone, a baby dinosaur sitting beside them
With the baby dinosaur alongside, the footprints lead onto bare rock — and stop. The marks on the stone are far too small to see.

The magnifying glass

A painted storybook page: a girl crouching with a magnifying glass over tiny claw marks on a rock, her sister pointing, a baby dinosaur trotting ahead
Then your child remembers the magnifying glass from home. Through it, tiny claw scratches show the way.

Home to its mother

A painted storybook page: two girls standing by a stream, smiling, as a long-necked mother dinosaur bends down to her baby
The trail leads to the baby's mother, and she bends her long neck down to it.
