We were lucky enough to have a chat with the fantastic Andy Day recently. We asked him about his brilliant book series, Dino Dad; his band, Andy and the Odd Socks; his love of dinosaurs and lots more. The father of three also shared his thoughts on how to grow up happily – keeping reading to find out more! Check out the whole exclusive interview with Andy Day in Hoopla 6: Ancient Egypt. It’s available in the shop now!

Andy has written four Dino Dad books so far – Dino Dad and Dino Dad: Ice Age which are available now, and there are two more coming in February and July 2025!
If you haven’t picked it up yet, this magical, dino-packed series is all about Ruby and her Dad who discover how to travel to an island where dinosaurs live like humans! Hoopla recommends this series for wannabe palaeontologists who love dino facts with a sprinkling of fantastical adventures.
Andy told us what simple step we can take to help our children to grow up happily:
It’s important for children to learn that we are all different – the key is to accept our differences, particularly our own. Then we can grow in a healthy manner and not resent the world perhaps, which is a happier existence for everyone.”
