Built for the local bookseller.
Every program, tool, and asset we offer is designed with one goal in mind: making your store the place families come back to. Not just once for a book — but month after month, year after year.
A free collectible bookmark — every single month.
We ship your store a new, high-quality collectible bookmark each month at zero cost to you. Every bookmark features a different character from the Prehistoric Planet universe and a unique QR code that unlocks exclusive bonus content — secret lore, printable activities, digital field reports.
Children want to complete their collection. That means their parents are back in your store every 30 days to get the next one.

Turn your children's section into an adventure zone.
We provide everything your staff needs to run engaging, memorable experiences — no planning experience required.

- ✦A suggested reading script with built-in interactive prompts
- ✦Movement breaks and call-and-response moments for restless listeners
- ✦Character-focused discussion questions after the read-aloud
- ✦Optional craft or activity sheet to close the session

The business of books is tough. We make it easier.
Every tool we provide is designed to reduce the effort on your side and increase the impact on theirs.
Shelf Talkers
Eye-catching branded cards that clip directly onto your displays. They communicate the Dino Defenders Standard — durability, no-violence, social-emotional focus — so the book sells itself before a parent even picks it up.
Storytime Action Kit
A complete package for Saturday Storytime: reading script, interactive prompts, movement cues, and follow-up activities. We turn a standard read-aloud into an event kids ask to come back to.
We believe in our product. We want you to feel the same.
No Print-on-Demand Fragility
Our books are professionally offset-printed. They have high shelf appeal and won't arrive with warped covers or thin pages common in self-published titles.
Direct & Transparent
Whether you order through a wholesaler or directly from us, you get clear lead times and dedicated support. No bots — just Tarb and the team.
Quick answers for busy store owners.
“Is there a minimum order?”
We offer tiered wholesale pricing based on order volume. Log in to the portal or reach out directly and we'll walk you through current discount tiers for your store size.
“Do the bookmarks come with the books?”
No — and that's intentional. Bookmarks ship separately each month so they remain a fresh, recurring reason for customers to visit your store. They're a pull program, not packaging.
“Can we host a Dino Defenders event?”
Absolutely. Contact us for digital event kits, printable activity packs, or to discuss potential creator appearances at your store.
