A LITTLE NOTE FOR GROWN-UPS
Pull up a comfy spot.
Roostlings is a series of gentle adventures by Lars & Luc, for ages 3–5. Read together, make the dinosaur sounds, and leave a little pause for your child to answer.
What’s inside the stories?
Four children and four young dinosaur friends help around a sunny valley. Each adventure makes room for asking, waiting, working together, and counting everyone home. Dinosaurs answer with sounds and movements. There are no villains, injuries, or scary surprises.
How do we read and play?
Choose any book and read or listen at your own pace. Record your own story sounds, try the helping games together, and leave a little pause for your child to answer. Pause, replay or finish whenever you like. Spoken prompts and sound effects can be switched off for quiet play.
How a toddler built a whole Valley
Lars loves his favourite TV adventures so much that he decided the world needed one more. His own. With dinosaurs, naturally. He supplies the big ideas and the wonderfully unexpected turns; his dad, Luc, helps turn them into stories, pictures and a place to play.
We read together, try the sounds together, and follow whatever story Lars dreams up next. There is no strict timetable: we aim for a new adventure roughly every two months, with room for a very good toddler idea to change the plan.
A WHOLE LITTLE WORLD TO PLAY IN
