Here comes little dinosaur Rex, Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! He’s off to visit his friends and wants to know how he can grow as big, strong, fast and smart as them.
Each of the bigger dinosaurs shares a top tip: eat your ‘growing’ greens, says Iggy, try some ‘strongberries’ says Herbie, what about some fishy brain food, says Stig. It works, and Rex’s grandpa Big T can’t believe how big and strong Rex is getting.
With its cast of dinosaur characters and fun surprise flaps and pop ups this is a playful but effective way of encouraging healthy eating and Rex is a very recognisable and appealing little character.
The Dinosaur Guides for toddlers and grown-ups tackle everyday challenges with warmth, humour and a little dino magic!
