Dino Dad: Ice Age is the second story from the roar-some new author-illustrator partnership of Andy Dy– dinosaur expert and one of children’s television’s best-known and beloved presenters – and award-winning illustrator, Steven Lenton.

Perfect for fans of funny fiction, Andy’s imaginative world and Steven’s charming illustrations will keep young readers aged between four to eight hooked, and ready to become – like Ruby and her dad – POOPAs (Protector of Our Prehistoric Allies!)

 

 

Following the runaway success of the first in their Dino Dad series which saw Ruby Thumb discover her father’s magical ability to change into a dinosaur, her second adventure – Dino Dad: Ice Age brings readers back to the fantastical secret island of Dinotropolis.

 

Here, Ruby and her dad have a fantastic frozen adventure in an icy dino-filled world, rescuing a baby woolly mammoth, reuniting it with its mummy, and un-freezing the entire island!

 

Featuring real-life dino facts to fascinate and feed the curiosity of young readers, Dino Dad: Ice Age is a whirlwind adventure and the perfect story to help children on their reading journey.

 

With Dino Dad on track to be one of the bestselling young fiction debuts of 2024, families and young readers will be delighted by this epic second instalment.

 

 

Praise for Dino Dad Book #1

 

‘This book got my six-year-old into independent reading. Thank you Andy!’ – Amazon reader review

 

‘I bought this as a bedtime chapter book for my four-year-old – she adores Andy and dinosaurs, so this was a big hit! So much so is that we ended up reading it all over two bedtimes and we’re now on the fourth re-read! It’s a lovely storyline with some good giggles and excellent illustrations. We’d definitely recommend and we can’t wait for the next one!  – Amazon reader review

 

‘[A] wonderful choice for parents looking to nurture their child’s interest in dinosaurs while enjoying quality time together through reading. I highly recommend this book for its engaging storyline, educational value, and beautiful illustrations that make learning about dinosaurs a thrilling adventure.’ – Amazon reader review
