Description

A perfect story to read with Dad, from multi-award-winning author Michelle Robinson. Following in their daddies' gigantic footsteps, will the baby dinosaurs find their own feet?

Baby dinosaur wishes he could follow in his dad's giant footsteps, and grow up to be big, brave and strong, just like him. But when he and his friends lose sight of their daddies while on an adventure, and the world suddenly feels wild and dangerous, will he remember the advice his daddy gave him, and find his way home?

Four adorable baby dinosaurs find their way in the world with the help of their dads in this uplifting and heart-warming celebration of amazing fathers and the unique bond their children share with them, perfect for fans of Disney's The Good Dinosaur. A fun Father's Day gift to enjoy together, sure to become a bedtime favourite.
