About This Book

Crunch! The ground shakes beneath heavy dinosaur feet as Tyro, the loudest tyrannosaur, roars through Volcano Valley. But tiny Cosmo and slow Patty aren’t afraid—they know being small or slow doesn’t mean you can’t be brave. In a world where size seems to matter most, their courage shines the brightest.
