Zara and the Dinosaur Whistle
Best friends Zara, 5, and Leo, 7, help a lost baby dinosaur find his mama, with a whistle, a sketchbook and some counting.
Made by Panelo from one photo, in the Cartoon style. Open it to turn the pages and hear it read aloud.
Make it theirs
The more you tell Panelo, the more the story sounds like your family. Good things to mention:
- Their favourite dinosaur
- Their dinosaur toy (it can come along)
- A sibling or friend to share the adventure
- Something they're learning to be brave about

Questions parents ask
Can two children be in the same dinosaur book?
Yes. Zara and Leo's sample book has two heroes. You can add up to four, pets included.
Is my child's photo stored?
No. The photo is used once to draw your child as a storybook character and is then discarded. Saved and shared books contain only the drawings.
How much does it cost?
Trying it is free: you get your child as a cartoon hero, their story, the cover and the first two pages. The full book (up to 10 pages, up to four heroes including pets) is $9 one time, or ₹449 in India. The Family plan is $19 a month for three books.
