The story

Every night, a child hears a strange noise under the bed. One evening, the child dares to look and discovers a lost baby dinosaur. A glowing tunnel of roots leads them into a prehistoric forest. To help this new friend stay with its family, the child will need to cross a narrow stone bridge, one small step at a time.
