About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

All fans of Julia Donaldson's should listen to the enchanting tale of The Dinosaur's Diary.

Surviving and finding a safe place to lay her eggs is difficult for Hypsilophodon with dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex around. When she falls into a mysterious pool and finds herself on a modern farm there are still problems. Finally she finds a safe place to hatch her babies, but how can she keep thirteen baby dinosaurs safe and secret? When the farmer catches one - Hector - and plans to take him to the vet, it's up to Hypsilophodon and her fiesty daughter, Henrietta, to get him back. After a daring rescue, Hypsilophodon takes all her youngsters back through the mysterious pool to her own world.

A perfect book for children age 7+

As always Julia Donaldson never let's us down. Great story and one of my son's favourites even chose it over watching a film in the car on a long journey. That's definitely a win!

My son loves it!

I have tried getting this to play on my Echo saying all sorts of things, but I constantly get told that I don't own a book with the exact same name and would I like to buy it. For this reason do not buy it if planning to play it on an Echo device.

Does not work on Echo.

My little one loves the Julia Donaldson books but this one is a bit sad and made him upset in parts. Not the best one but still love most of her other books
