A magical dino-tastic adventure series from children’s TV superstar Andy Day, with amazing illustrations from illustrator powerhouse Steven Lenton!<\/p>\n
What if YOUR dad could change into a dinosaur?<\/b><\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
A hilarious and brilliantly illustrated easy-to-read story peppered with real dino facts – perfect for any young dinosaur-lover!<\/b><\/p>\n
Make sure you read Ruby’s first two adventures – Dino Dad<\/i>, and Dino Dad: Ice Age<\/i>, out now – and look out for Dino Dad: Dino Detectives<\/i>, coming Summer 2025.<\/b> <\/p>\n
Here’s what real readers are saying about Dino Dad<\/i>!<\/b><\/p>\n

“A great way to help children transition into chapter books with beloved TV star Andy”<\/b><\/p>\n
“The story is fun and engaging, with just the right amount of humour to keep them giggling”<\/b><\/p>\n
“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”<\/b><\/p>\n
“A delightful and engaging story that’s perfect for young Andy Day or dinosaur fans”<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
