Bookroo's summary

Nosy, a swift pterodactyl, and Banty, a clever apatosaurus, form an unexpected friendship despite their parents' disapproval. Together, they must outsmart the fiercest predator on the Great Plain. Can their bond overcome ancient prejudices and save the day? Join Nosy and Banty on a thrilling prehistoric adventure where courage and friendship are the ultimate weapons.

From the publisher

SOMETIMES THE MOST UNLIKELY PAIRS MAKE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. A hilarious prehistoric yarn for newly-independent readers from a master of children’s animal stories. All pterodactyls know that flying dinosaurs are superior, and all apatosauruses know that any dinosaur with only two legs is surely second-class. Nosy, a pterodactyl, and Banty, an apatosaurus, become great friends even though their parents have forbidden them to play together. With Nosy’s fast flying and Banty’s smarts, the two take on the biggest predator on the Great Plain, and conquer their parents’ prejudices in one great adventure.
