Meet Tiny -- the pint-sized, prehistoric hero! He may be very small, but he's got a very big heart! When Tiny the dinosaur hatches out of a great, big egg, no one can believe their eyes! he is so small! Tiny grows --a little -- and tries to make friends with the other young dinosaurs but they laugh and say that he isn't big enough to play their games. But what Tiny lacks in size, he more than makes up for in spirit!


Dinosaur Called Tiny Reviews

    Good things come in small packages !!! 🦕 🦕 🦕

  • Sarita

    This story was so cute with such a powerful message. Even though you are different, you are still important.

  • Suzanne Lorraine Kunz Williams

    Tiny the dinosaur was very tiny. And he got teased and shunned because of it. Until the day when he became the hero because he was tiny and brave.

    **Talking points - What have you been teased about, or criticized about, or shunned over? How can your weaknesses become your strengths? How can you serve and help those who have not friended you? What would be the reason to do so?

    lovely. ❤🦖
    would help to self confidence, communication and not to judge for how you look like !
    the colors is so soft and comforting. beautiful.
    The text and images jump around a lot, little noisy.

    This book was just ok. I was never really drawn in to the story and I didn't find any of the characters especially interesting - even Tiny.

    While I liked the moral of the story, the story itself just fell flat for me. The illustrations just weren't even my type. I couldn't relate to Tiny at all and he just wasn't a character I even felt bad for. I felt a little sorry when the other kids wouldn't let him play with them (sounding very Rudolph-esque), but that was about it. I liked that he was able to save the day - but even so, it just didn't do it for me.

    My daughter enjoys dino stories so that is the reason we picked it up. I was hoping for a better story and just found I was disappointed.

  • Rachel

    Tinny Dinosaur saves a friend. A sweet book with bold illustrations. Great message about being yourself.

  • Jen H.

    Cute story. Sweet illustrations. Elementary kids would like this. Good lesson about being different or small.

  • Beck

    How very Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

    I like and dislike the art. I like and dislike the story. Maybe it was cuter in concept than execution.

  • Molly

    I love the colors in this book.

  • Kaethe

    The PandaBat liked it more than I did. The Tiny dinosaur earns the respect of all the normal-sized, mean, teasing dinos. And not by being able to steal food. Meh.

  • Dawn

    The text and images jump around a lot, making it difficult to follow the story. The illustrations were pretty mediocre.

  • Modboy

    Mediocre story with cute illustrations about a tiny dinosaur who's teased until he makes a big difference. One commentator described it as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer -- I agree.

  • Miss A

    Liked by boys and girls. Year 1-2. Underlying message = what makes you different, makes you special ; being a good person regardless of how others treat you.

  • kate

    Would use in a dinosaur-themed story time.

  • H. Gibson

    Chronicles of Han Storm Book Club Read (children - first read)

    We love brave little tiny (and all dinosours for that matter).

  • Guen

    Would be good for a small child who needed encouragement about his/her size.

  • Watee

    A great book to teach children about character and values.As an adult, i enjoyed reading it myself!

  • Jenny Rawle

    so cute

  • Huda Fel

    A story that tells you, it's ok to be different. Anyone is different in his/her own way(;
