A few helpful answers

Before the first little doodle.

Do we need the storybook too?

The journal continues the adventure in The Way to Fern Valley, so the two make a thoughtful gift together. Its welcome page also introduces Pip, so children can enjoy the journal on its own with a grown-up’s help.

Does my child need to be able to write?

No. They can draw, try a few words, or tell a grown-up what to write. Each activity leaves room for their own way of sharing an idea.

What can I personalize?

Enter their first name and an optional gift message. The journal has no illustrated child character to customize; character choices belong to the storybook.

Are all 32 pages in color?

The four cover surfaces are in color. The 28 activity pages are black and white, ready for your child’s own drawings and writing.

What comes with the journal?

One personalized printed journal. The matching storybook is available separately or together through the Dinosaur Adventure collection. Pencils, crayons, and toys are not included.

A dinosaur keepsake, made by them

Let their next adventure begin.
