Who will Meg introduce Alex and Tinka to this time? Well, another dinosaur, of course! But not just any dinosaur, a Diplodocus who has the sniffles… Luckily their mum has entered the scene and joins them in the latest adventure.

“I don’t, but Dolly does,” Meg answered, looking worried. “Dolly’s sneezing all the time, her snout is all stuffed up, and she’s burning hot…”
