Pip is a make-believe cartoon baby dinosaur. His adventures are pretend play, not a guide to real dinosaurs. Some pictures show things a real baby dinosaur could do, like hatching from an egg, taking first steps, or sleeping. Others let Pip pretend to be a person, like having a tea party, riding a wagon, making a paper crown, going fishing, and wearing a party hat. The article says which is which on every page.

Pip and his friends’ colors
Pip and Mama look the same on every page, and Pip’s colors stay the same too:
- Pip: light blue, with a cream belly and chest, three coral-red oval spots on his back, two green leaves on his head, big dark eyes with lashes, and a wide open smile with a pink tongue.
- Mama: a bigger long-neck dinosaur with eyelashes, two leaves on her head, and three spots on her back.
Rex, Trixie, and Steggy have no fixed colors in this article, because the artist drew them differently in different books. Your child can choose any colors they like for Rex, Trixie, and Steggy.

- Fine motor: the Detailed pages (the bubbles, the strawberries, the snowflakes, and the celebration) have small spaces to color carefully.
- Growing up: Pip starts as a hatchling and grows bigger across the book, and the pages follow him from Hatchling Pip to Baby Pip to Big Baby Pip.
A note for grown-ups
Four short notes for the adults reading along. Pip is a make-believe cartoon baby dinosaur, and his adventures are pretend play. Real sauropods ate prehistoric plants. Pip’s garden carrot and basket of strawberries belong to his pretend world. Sauropods generally favored warm climates, though some fossils have been found in cooler regions. Pip’s snow day is a pretend adventure. Real fishing is a grown-up activity, so Pip’s fishing trip is pretend play. Stegosaurus lived millions of years before T. rex and Triceratops, so the five-dinosaur celebration is make-believe. Mama is the book’s pretend family only: the book never says real sauropod mothers stayed with their hatchlings. Baby T. rexes started life much smaller than the grown-ups. The insects on the firefly page are fireflies, as the title says.
Baby dinosaur fun facts for curious kids
- The long-neck dinosaurs are called sauropods. They were some of the biggest animals ever to walk the Earth!
- Triceratops had three horns: one on its nose and two above its eyes!
- Stegosaurus had two rows of large plates along its back!
Creative ways to enjoy these baby dinosaur coloring pages

- Spot the pretend pages: ask your child which pages show real dinosaur play and which are make-believe.
- Match the friend: find Rex on page 15, then find Rex, Trixie, Steggy, and Mama again on the celebration page 25.
- Find Mama: Mama appears on page 13 and again on page 25.
- Follow the journey: color page 1, meeting Pip, and page 25, the big celebration, and put them side by side to see where the journey begins and ends.
- Tell the journey back: ask your child to retell Pip’s day using the finished pages, from hatching out of his egg to the big celebration.
