Night falls on the vast plains of Montana. The full moon shines on a ranch at the end of the world, where a boy dreams about the dinosaurs from the cuttings and drawing on his bedroom wall. Suddenly, he finds himself in a prehistoric landscape. He hears a loud roar and the ground shakes… It is the beginning of an adventure filled with giant creatures, which Jake immediately recognises from his books. Quetzalcoatlus , Triceratops, Troodons …
Cool! Luckily, Jake has three rodeo trophies in his cabinet!
