Duration: One hour. Ages 4-10
Marsha the megalosaurus lives all alone on a tiny island. She loves it there, but one day she notices a very funny feeling – could she be… lonely? So when she spots a small scelidosaurus, Moss, on the opposite side of the swamp, she decides to make friends with him. But however hard she tries, Marsha just keeps scaring Moss away – will she be a lonely only dinosaur forever? A gorgeous, funny story, inspired by the fact that only two dinosaur bones have ever been found in Ireland – one from a megalosaurus (carnivore) and one from a scelidosaurus (herbivore).
