When the Tinysaurs learn that Santa’s elves are all sick with tinsel-itis, they travel to Santa’s workshop to read the unopened letters to Santa and help make the toys in the hopes of saving Christmas. 

It’s almost Christmas, but there’s a problem at Santa’s workshop: the elves are all sick with tinsel-itis! The Tinysaurs—three friendly dinosaurs named Spike, Roary, and Clawdie—hear the news and travel to Santa’s workshop to help out. Clawdie and Spike each try making a toy, but Clawdie’s teddy bear looks curiously like a dinosaur, and Spike’s doll has dinosaur teeth! The youngest, Roary, tries making drumsticks, but because his tinysaur arms are so small, the drumsticks are much too long! It will take everyone’s help—and Santa’s guidance—to complete all of the tasks in time to save Christmas! 
Patricia Hegarty began working in children's publishing more years ago than she cares to remember! As an editor she has worked on titles ranging from atlases to animal pop-ups, craft kits to crazy mazes, and sticker books to secret diaries.

Dean Gray is based in South London and completed a BA in Graphic Design at Leeds Art University before working as a creative designer for Advocate Art illustration Agency. He now works as a freelance author/illustrator for children's books. Dean has a humorous character-driven approach to his work, is passionate about storytelling and creating a character or world that someone can have an emotional connection with. He takes a lot of inspiration from browsing book shops, traveling, the art of animation and sci-fi as well as anything to do with character design.
