A personalized dinosaur book starring your child

It starts with a backyard dig and a speckled egg. Out hatches Pip, a baby triceratops who has lost the way home, and your child is the only one who can help. Together they slip through a secret fern tunnel into a hidden valley of gentle giants, misty waterfalls and a volcano that puffs harmless pink smoke.

Your little one slides down a long-neck dinosaur into the river and learns that the scariest-looking dinosaur of all just needed a friend. Add your child's first name and one photo, and we paint them into all 14 illustrations of this 32-page picture book, so the hero on every page looks just like them.

Inside the book

Leo and the Secret Dinosaur Valley: a few pages

Sample illustration
Crick... crack... CRACK! Out popped a tiny green dinosaur with orange freckles and two stubby horns. “Peep!” it said, and licked Leo’s nose. “Hello, Pip,” whispered Leo. It seemed like a very good name for a very small dinosaur.
Sample illustration
A gentle long-neck dinosaur lowered her head. “Need a ride across the river, little ones?” Whoosh! Down they went, sliding along her long, bumpy neck like a playground slide. Leo laughed so hard that a fish jumped out of the water to see what was so funny.
Sample illustration
“I am Rumble,” said the dinosaur, “and I know every corner of this valley.” Rumble bent down low. Leo and Pip climbed on top of that enormous head, and away they went, swaying high above the treetops. It was the best seat in the whole world.
