The Girl And The Dinosaur

A girl discovers a dinosaur on the beach, and her imagination gives the ancient creature a new life. Together they enter a dreamlike adventure where the everyday world opens into something extraordinary. Hollie Hughes's lyrical story and Sarah Massini's atmospheric pictures celebrate the freedom of imagination, the wonder of making discoveries and the special companionship a child can create within a story.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
