The original seven. Before the next chapter.
These seven picture books helped launch Dino Defenders, introducing young readers to a world of colorful characters, big feelings, and discoveries to share.
As Dino Defenders has grown, so has our storytelling. We’re preparing six revised second editions with rewritten text, smoother read-aloud pacing, changes to selected scenes, and a few updated illustrations. The familiar characters and core themes remain, while some adventures unfold differently.
One title is taking a new direction: TriceraShield’s Shielded Sanctuary is being retired and replaced by a new adventure, TriceraShield’s Mossy Mystery. This first-edition collection includes the original Shielded Sanctuary story.
The remaining first editions are available now:
- All 7 for $55, with free shipping. That's less than $8 per book, delivered.
- Individual books for $8.95 each, plus shipping.
The upcoming second editions will remain $14.95 each, plus shipping.
These original editions won’t be reprinted. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
What we've refined
One page, before and after.
Here’s one example from page 12 of Crosby Calms a Volcano. The original scene has Stompy and Dizzy pass out from the heat. As our read-aloud style evolved, I decided to make the moment gentler and give Crosby a more active response. On this page only the words change; in other scenes, the illustrations and the story change too.
