Read the story

Hey, I’m Spike! Stylish, silly, and roarrsome. Want to see my best dinosaur pose? Ta-da! I love a laugh with my mates. And my favourite snack? Fish fingers and custard! Yep, really. What makes you giggle? Come and be a little silly with me!

Stylish. Silly. Roarrsome.

Spike loves trying a new look, making his friends giggle and turning an ordinary day into a very silly adventure. His favourite snack? Fish fingers and custard. That’s Spike!

A little prehistoric discovery

Spinosaurus had a tall sail-like shape on its back. Fossil evidence tells us that fish were part of its diet.

Can you find the sail shape on Spike’s back?
