What is Archie the Ugly Dinosaur about?
Archie is the smallest dinosaur in his group, and the others often tease him for being little and clumsy. One day, strange spikes begin to grow all over his body. The other dinosaurs laugh even more, so Archie runs away into the forest, where hungry Rexes may be hiding. Soon, his friends realise they have been unkind and set off to find him. But when they discover Archie, they are in for a surprising and exciting change.
