Choosing tonight’s book

A dinosaur joke, or the last patch of sun?

Ruby and Rumble’s two stories, for about six, belong together as a Series and both end in laughter. Oona’s story, for about eight, is the quiet one: she settles into a sheltered dip and tucks her nose beneath her frill as the light fades.

If you feel like talking about it
  • What gave Rumble away in the ferns?
  • How did Ruby notice that the cliff never went first?
  • What did Oona check before settling in the dip?
