Dylan the Dino Boy Saves Christmas

A laugh-out-loud festive adventure written by children's TV star, Andy Day.

Dylan is a pretty ordinary kid. Except for one thing: when he sneezes, he turns in a dinosaur!

Usually turning into a dinosaur is great fun, but when Dylan catches his first cold a week before Christmas, his sneezes cause one disaster after another until it starts to look a lot like Christmas might be ruined!

Will Dylan learn to love his dino-sneezes in time to save the day?

A brilliantly funny, dino-tastic, festive adventure that celebrates what makes us extraROARdinary.
