Inside the book
Shown with our sample hero. Your book has your child on every page.
The sun is up. Good morning, Sammy! Today you are a dinosaur digger!
Sample art
Time to pack! A magnifying glass, a soft brush, a map, and a snack of juicy blueberries. Ready, Sammy?
Sample art
Off you go, Sammy! Stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Sample art
Dig, dig, dig. Brush, brush, brush. What is that?
Sample art
A stone egg! It glows. It hums. Then... WHOOSH!
Sample art
You land in a land of giant ferns. Long, long ago, dinosaurs lived here!
Sample art
Stomp, stomp, ROAR! A long-neck dinosaur munches the treetops.
Sample art
Then you hear a tiny sound behind the ferns. Squeak!
Sample art
You peek behind the ferns
Sample art
A baby triceratops! “Hello, I’m Sammy.” It tries to ROAR back... but out comes a tiny squeak.
Sample art
Far away, a big T. rex ROARS. The baby hangs its head. It wishes it had a big roar too.
Sample art
You sit beside it. “I’m small too,” you say. “But small can still do big things.”
Sample art
You share your juicy berries. Munch, munch. Now you are friends!
Sample art
Splash in puddles. Hide in ferns. What a fun day, Sammy!
Sample art
Then... RUMBLE, RUMBLE! The ground shakes. The volcano puffs a big gray cloud.
Sample art
Rocks tumble down the hill. Now a big wall of rocks blocks the path. The baby’s family is on the other side!
Sample art
Your tummy flips. The baby shivers. You hold it close and take a deep breath.
Sample art
You look through your magnifying glass. Look! A small gap between two big rocks.
Sample art
Too small for big dinosaurs. Just right for you two! Squeeze, squeeze... you’re through!
Sample art
On the other side, Mama calls: ROAR! ROAR! But the wind is too loud. She can’t hear you, Sammy!
Sample art
Then you have an idea. “Big roars get lost in the wind. But your squeak is high and clear. Try it!”
Sample art
The baby takes a deep breath... SQUEAK! The tiny sound zips high above the wind.
Sample art
Mama hears it! Stomp, stomp, STOMP! Something big is coming through the dust!
Sample art
It's Mama! The baby runs into her big, warm hug. You did it, Sammy!
Sample art
The whole herd cheers for the baby. Even the big T. rex joins in. That little squeak saved the day!
Sample art
The stone egg glows again. Time to go home. Mama gives you a gentle nose boop. Bye-bye, Sammy!
Sample art
Whoosh! You’re back in your sandbox. Small voices and small friends can do big things. Be proud of being you.
