A magical dino-tastic adventure series from children's TV superstar Andy Day, with amazing illustrations from illustrator powerhouse Steven Lenton!

What if YOUR dad could change into a dinosaur?


Hello! It's me, Ruby Thumb. You might remember me and my dad - we're famous POOPAs. What do you mean you've not heard of us? And you don't know what a POOPA is?! It means we're Protector Of Our Dinosaur Allies - obviously!

Me and my dad have loads of amazing adventures in Dinotropolis - an incredible island, full of dinosaurs who live just like us humans do. And when we go there using our special magic Ammonite shell, we turn into dinosaurs too!

Let me tell you about the time I spent the week at Pangea’s Largest Outstanding Prehistoric School - or PLOPS, as we call it, ha! - AND took part in the Big School Talent Show. I was quite nervous about starting school - and there were a few dino-tastic surprises along the way - but in the end it was totally roarsome!

A hilarious and brilliantly illustrated easy-to-read story peppered with real dino facts - perfect for any young dinosaur-lover!

Make sure you read Ruby's first two adventures - Dino Dad, and Dino Dad: Ice Age, out now - and look out for Dino Dad: Dino Detectives, coming Summer 2025.

Here's what real readers are saying about Dino Dad!

“My son loves both dinosaurs and Andy, so this book was an absolute hit with him”

“A great way to help children transition into chapter books with beloved TV star Andy”

“The story is fun and engaging, with just the right amount of humour to keep them giggling”

“Great book for kids aged 5-8 years old. The artwork is great, the story is fun and there’s also a learning element to it”

“A delightful and engaging story that’s perfect for young Andy Day or dinosaur fans”
