Meet Dinocorn. He’s gentle, nurturing and nature-loving . . . or at least that’s what his new owner – Princess Ally – thinks! 

Ally is an impatient, green-fingered princess and is landed with a stomping, rambunctious Dinocorn from Mrs Paws’ Magic Pet Shop. Will she learn that, like plants, pets just need a bit of time – and a sprinkle of magic – to find their feet?

A fun-filled story about friendship and the power of patience!
