Dino Dad: Ice Age
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!
I can't wait to tell you all about our amazing frozen adventure. We had to rescue a baby woolly mammoth, and make sure it got back safely to its mummy - as well as un-freeze Dinotropolis! It was pretty roarsome - now let me tell you all about it!
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 adventure - Dino Dad, out now - and look out for Dino Dad: Big Dino School Talent Show, coming February 2025.
