The Fastest Dinosaur Caren Cantrell

What if you were the fastest dinosaur in the world? Would you do anything to win a race?




Enzo is the fastest dinosaur in the world. All his friends agree.

When slow-moving Constantino challenges him to a race, Enzo is sure he will win.

But the track is filled with dinosaurs in trouble.

Can Enzo help his friends and still win the race?




The Fastest Dinosaur is a children's picture book reimagining the tale of The Tortoise and The Hare. However, in this story pride and laziness aren't what cause Enzo to lose the race. Kindness is. Enzo fully intends to win the race, after all, he is the fastest dinosaur and he is very proud of it. He belittles Constantino, the slow Saltasaurus, because of his short legs, but Constantino has heart. Along the track, Enzo's values are constantly tested by the other dinosaurs he encounters who have run into trouble. Should he pass them by to keep his "fastest" title, or help them out?
