Aurorasauras's Rainbow Birthday Trail (Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 25)

Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 25 by Paul Rawly

When Aurorasauras's birthday comes, Mum puts a folded map beside her breakfast. Seven circles run across it: six colours and one big rainbow. "A birthday trail!"

With Artie Bear beside her, Aurorasauras follows the colours. Pip and Rosie wait by the red gate, Polly by the orange marigolds, and Harry and Tommy by the tall sunflower with a magnifying glass. The green ferns hide a drawing of the day she first met Artie. When the blue circle could mean two places, she stops, looks closely and works out the clue. Kit and Hannah wait by the chair, Mum waits by the purple flowers, and in the meadow every friend ties a coloured ribbon to the old oak to make a rainbow.

A joyful birthday story about friendship, noticing clues and finding all the people who love you.

The story is followed by 10 activity pages with story questions, feelings prompts and drawing spaces to share together. For children aged 3 to 7.
