What if YOUR dad could change into 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 who live just like us humans do. 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!

Look out for the next book, Dino Dad: Ice Age, out in October 24.

Three years ago Andy, I wouldn't have been able to identify you at a crime scene. But now, I'll be honest, I see you in my dreams. - Josh Widdicombe, Parenting Hell podcast

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!
