DINO<\/span>\u00a0RACERS<\/span>!<\/i><\/b><\/p>

It’s race day at Rumble Ridge, and the\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Racers<\/span> are getting ready to put their totally roarsome race cars through their paces. Join Trexy, Bumper, Stretch, Flappa and Zoomer as they compete in the Jungle and Lava Cups, and navigate not just the track but tricky teammates too. Who will get stuck in the mud \u2013 and who will speed their way to glory?<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>

\"A\u201cI have had so much fun writing\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Dad and Dylan the\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Boy, and I could not be more excited to be sharing my brand-new series,\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Racers<\/span>! I’m so lucky to have \u00a0a career in children\u2019s TV that\u2019s lasted since 2007 and is still going! Now I\u00a0 feel even luckier to have been welcomed so warmly into the wonderful world of children\u2019s books \u2013 and connecting with so many readers over the past two years.<\/i><\/p>

\u00a0<\/i>When thinking about what I wanted to write next, I looked back on the moments I fell in love with books \u2013 and the times I\u2019ve seen my own little ones fall in love with books, too. I wanted to write a story that helps younger readers find this spark \u2013 a book that children who might be more easily distracted (or be tempted to choose a video game) would really love, and would want to keep reading!\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Racers<\/span>\u00a0was my answer!<\/i><\/p>

This is an exciting year for books and reading \u2013 I\u2019m proud to be a National Year of Reading ambassador \u2013 and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Racers<\/span>\u00a0in the wild in June and with Dylan\u2019s second adventure in July!\u201d<\/i><\/p>

The launch of\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Racers<\/span><\/i>\u00a0follows the success of Andy\u2019s debut series\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Dad<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/i>illustrated by Steven Lenton \u2013 which was one of the best-selling young fiction series of 2024 and 2025 \u2013 and Andy\u2019s first ever picture book, illustrated by Alex Patrick,\u00a0Dylan the\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Boy<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Saves Christmas<\/i>. Dylan\u2019s second adventure,\u00a0Dylan the\u00a0Dino<\/span>\u00a0Boy Saves the Zoo<\/i>, will be released on 2 July 2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
