Rory and his dad (Rory the Dinosaur and sequel) are looking for the perfect Christmas tree. When they can't find one, the disappointed dinosaur heads home with Dad to begin a tree-less celebration. With help from friends (and Dad's Christmas morning surprise) Rory realizes "Christmas isn't really about the tree." Digital illustrations with lots of blues and greens add humor to the simple story line.

In Rory's second adventure (Rory the Dinosaur: Me and My Dad), the young dinosaur decides he wants a pet after seeing how much fun his sloth friend has with a pet hermit crab. Rory's search is unsuccessful--until a coconut "follows" him home and proves a perfect pet. Spare digitally rendered illustrations capture Rory's tender care of and playtime with "George."

Little dino Rory decides he needs independence, so he packs a bag and takes off on a solo adventure. When Rory hits snags, Dad sneakily comes to the rescue in muted digitally rendered illustrations. Because Rory never sees Dad quietly following along (though the reader does), he proudly completes his mission "all by myself." Love between father and son abounds on each spread.
