Synopsis

When a gentle duckbill dinosaur's egg mistakenly lands in a Tyrannosaurus nest, the hatchling, nicknamed 'Drip' by his fierce sisters, feels out of place. Preferring peaceful munching on water weeds over hunting, Drip embarks on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately proving that being different can be a strength. This delightful rhyming tale celebrates individuality and courage, captivating young readers with its humour and charm.
