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

In a warm and sunny land, there lived a friendly Triceratops named Tilly. Tilly had three big horns on her head and a beautiful frill around her neck. She loved to roam the grassy plains and play in the gentle sunshine.

One day, while munching on some tasty leaves, Tilly spotted a colorful dinosaur in the distance. "Hello!" called Tilly. The dinosaur turned around. It was a little Stegosaurus named Sammy. Sammy had big plates on his back and a cheerful smile.

"Hi, Tilly!" said Sammy, waving his tail. "Do you want to play?"

Tilly beamed with joy. "Yes! Let's play hide and seek!"

Tilly counted to ten, and Sammy hid behind a tall tree. The leaves rustled softly. Tilly searched, her heart full of giggles. "Where are you, Sammy?"

Sammy peeked out and laughed, "Here I am!"

They played and played, running and laughing under the warm sun. Tilly and Sammy became the best of friends.

"Friends are special," said Tilly, smiling wide.

"Yes!" cheered Sammy.

And so, in their sunny land, Tilly and Sammy played together every day, sharing smiles, laughter, and the joy of friendship.
