A small, joyful velociraptor named Rolo with light green scales speckled with yellow, big round eyes and a smile jumps in the shallow water wagging his tail while his friend Tilly, a gentle, curious pale-pink triceratops with short horns and tiny white spots, stands slightly back in the river smiling and reaches a foot to help; a shiny silver pebble rolls between their feet near the current in a clear shallow river dotted with colorful stones, grassy banks, ferns and trees under a blue sky and warm sun — the two friends laugh and gently guide the pebble to shore amid soft splashes in a tender, playful scene.

Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

In a warm, sunny land, there lived a cheerful little Velociraptor named Rolo. Rolo loved to explore the lush, green forest where tall trees whispered gently in the breeze. One day, Rolo spotted a flowing river with shiny pebbles. "Splish, splash," went the water, as Rolo jumped in with a giggle.

Nearby, a friendly Triceratops named Tilly watched with curious eyes. "Hello, Rolo!" called Tilly with a big, bright smile. "What are you doing?" Rolo smiled back and said, "I'm playing in the water! Join me!"

Tilly the Triceratops gave a happy nod and carefully waded into the river. "Splish! Splosh!" Tilly giggled as the water tickled her toes. The two friends laughed, splashing each other with tiny waves.

Suddenly, a small stone rolled near Rolo. "Oh no," said Rolo softly, "a pebble wants to go home!" Tilly looked at the pebble and said, "Let's help it!" Together, Rolo and Tilly gently guided the pebble back to its resting place.

With the pebble safe, Rolo and Tilly shared a smile. The forest sang a soft lullaby, and the day was warm and bright.

With friends, every day is a big, happy adventure.
