Dino School

Author's Note

"I wrote this story for my grandchildren - Ella, Jack, and Izaak - during those quiet afternoons when 'oopsies' felt like the end of the world. I wanted to show them that life is at its most magical when we're brave enough to be a bit messy. From our family to yours, I hope these little dinos bring a splash of wonder to your story time." - Goose in Gold

Join Giggly Furbottom and the Little Five in the Great Fern Forest today!

Welcome to the Great Fern Forest - the squishiest, muddiest, most magical playground in the prehistoric world!

In the heart of the jungle lies Dino School, a place where the dirt is perfect for zooming and every giant fern hides a secret. But today is no ordinary day. The world-famous Giggly Furbottom has arrived, his furry bottom wobbling with excitement, to teach the 'Little Five' a lesson they'll never forget: The Art of the Oopsie!

Through a series of muddy adventures, children will join their new dino-friends as they tumble, splash and float through the forest:

• Speedy the Velociraptor: Discovers that running fast is a thrill but looking where you're going is even better!
• Rexy the T-Rex: Learns that a mighty roar is great, but not when it sends your lunch flying into a stream.
• Munch the Brachiosaurus: Finds out that 'Bubble Berries' are beautiful, but they might just turn you into a floating dino-balloon!
• Trish the Triceratops: Brave and bold, she learns why even the toughest explorers need a helping hand by their side.
• Steggy the Stegosaurus: A quiet dreamer who discovers that the best way to keep a treasure safe is to share its sparkle with friends.

From soggy bellyflops to floating through the treetops, the 'Little Five' discover that making mistakes is just a messy part of growing up. But when things get rumbly, they have the best tool of all - each other.

Will the Little Five solve tomorrow's problem together? Step into the Great Fern Forest today and find out!
