A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

Chapter One

A Door in Time

Your child stepped through the old stone arch and the world turned wild and green.

Chapter Two

Gentle Giants

A long-necked dinosaur lowered its head, and your child reached out to say hello.

Chapter Three

Race the Storm

When the sky rumbled, your child and the herd hurried together to safe, dry ground.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who Adventure in the Age of Dinosaurs is for

This is the dinosaur book for the child who already knows more about dinosaurs than you do. It takes the subject seriously: the giants are gentle rather than snapping, and the danger in the third act is weather, not teeth. A dependable birthday choice from five upward, and a good bet for a reader who will happily read about facts but not about feelings.

Four to eight. At four it is a story about very big animals. At seven or eight the time-travel frame starts to do its work, and the race against the storm reads as a real problem with a real solution. Vocabulary follows the reading level you choose, so the long names can be dialled up or down.

For Ari, who could say Parasaurolophus a full year before he could tie a shoelace.

Common questions

What age is Adventure in the Age of Dinosaurs for?

Adventure in the Age of Dinosaurs is written for ages 4-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is Adventure in the Age of Dinosaurs personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
