How the first page could read

One bright morning, your child heard a small snuffle behind the tall ferns. There, beneath a broad leaf, stood a tiny Triceratops with muddy feet and a worried little squeak. “Are you lost?” your child asked softly. The little dinosaur nodded, then tucked close beside your child’s boot.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

At ages 2–4, children often enjoy small, clear acts of care they can follow from one spread to the next. Here, your child notices what the baby Triceratops needs: shade, a drink and calm company, before following three-horned tracks to its herd. The gentle search gives adults easy moments to pause and ask what the little dinosaur might be feeling or which clue to look for next. A photo of your child helps place them at the centre of each illustrated scene, while the short, age-suited text keeps the plot easy to share at bedtime or during quiet reading time.

Reading it together

• Before reading, ask your child what they would pack to help a lost baby dinosaur.
• Pause at the footprint scenes and invite your child to point out which way the herd may have gone.
• After the ending, talk about one kind thing your child did for the tiny Triceratops.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft storybook watercolour gives the fern-filled valley and gentle baby Triceratops a calm, caring feel. A sidekick idea: a mud-speckled baby Triceratops. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
