Dino Dad

byAndy Day, Steven Lenton (Illustrator), Andy Day (Read by)
What if YOUR dad was a dinosaur? Hi, I'm Ruby! And I've got a big secret . . . everyone thinks my dad is an amazing dinosaur expert at our local museum. And he totally is! But he's also . . . a POOPA! And so am I!

What's a POOPA? Well, it means he's a Protector Of Our Prehistoric Allies. When me and Dad touch his special, magic ammonite shell, we travel to an incredible island, full of dinosaurs. And when we go there, we turn into dinosaurs too! We have so many amazing adventures . . . and I can't wait for you to join us!
