Bookroo's summary

Dinah, the unbeatable Diplodocus, excels at everything—until a surfing contest in Dino Town challenges her streak. As she grapples with her first failure, Dinah must decide if fun is about more than just winning. Will she embrace the joy of trying, or let defeat overshadow her spirit? Join Dinah on a rhyming adventure of perseverance and discovery, where the waves of competition teach her a new way to enjoy life.

From the publisher

A humorous, rhyming dinosaur tale about determination and learning that having fun isn’t always about being the best. Diplodocus Dinah is great at everything! She is an excellent speller; she plays piano; she paints masterpieces; and she knits. There’s nothing she can’t do and no competition she can’t win. But when the Surfing Contest comes to Dino Town, Dinah discovers that surfing is something she just can’t do! For the first time ever, Dinah doesn’t win a competition. Will she be devastated? Or will she decide that there’s more to having fun than winning? A fun, humorous story about perseverance, and learning that you might not always be the best.
