A DINO-TASTIC laugh-out-loud picture book written by the Cbeebies superstar A laugh-out-loud festive adventure written by children's TV star, Andy Day. Dylan is a pretty ordinary kid. Except for one thing- when he sneezes, he turns in a dinosaur! Usually turning into a dinosaur is great fun, but when Dylan catches his first cold a week before Christmas, his sneezes cause one disaster after another until it starts to look a lot like Christmas might be ruined! Will Dylan learn to love his dino-sneezes in time to save the day A brilliantly funny, dino-tastic, festive adventure that celebrates what makes us extraROARdinary.
