'Minidino's - De Hobbelsaurus' (Mini-Dinos – The Bumpy-saurus) is a cheerful rhyming picture book by Rachel Bright and Chris Chatterton, translated by Bette Westera. In this funny dinosaur story, young children meet a little dino with a big problem.

'De Hobbelsaurus' is a heartwarming and encouraging story about perseverance. Little Bumpy-saurus gets her first bike and can't wait to win the big forest cycling race. But practice is a bit bumpy, and... KA-BOOM! KA-BANG! Learning to ride a bike isn't easy! Just when she wants to give up, her wise Grandma-saurus reminds her that if you really want something, it’s always worth trying again—and that everyone starts out wobbly when learning something new.

With humor, rhythm, and warm illustrations, this picture book tells a relatable story about self-confidence, self-acceptance, and dealing with uncertainty. The playful rhyme and lively drawings make the book ideal for reading aloud to toddlers and preschoolers.

Rachel Bright (known for *The Lion Inside*, among others) is loved worldwide for her sensitive and accessible animal stories that carry a beautiful message. Illustrator Chris Chatterton brings the Mini-Dinos to life with expressive, colorful, and detailed images. The sparkling rhyming translation is by Bette Westera.

'Minidino's - De Hobbelsaurus' is a heartwarming read-aloud book for children aged 3 and up, and a wonderful gift for little dino fans learning that being different is perfectly okay.
