A tiny dinosaur with a big change

Twin siblings hoping to adopt a pocket-sized dinosaur bring home Dinky, only to discover that their new pet keeps growing. When Dinky’s size disrupts a birthday party, a disagreement leads to her running away, putting the siblings’ attachment to their pet—and their ideas about appearances—to the test. This picture book centers on caring for someone whose differences do not match expectations, with its dinosaur-pet premise giving that theme a playful family setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy dinosaur stories and picture books about pets.
  • Families looking for a story about acceptance and caring for someone who changes.
