What happens when a group of prehistoric misfits falls through time and lands in the heart of modern-day Americana? They form a band, shake up the status quo, and remind us all what it means to stay true to yourself.
Jungle Jam
When dinosaurs discover a hidden portal deep in the jungle, they’re whisked away to the future and introduced to a world of music. Join Raptor Rex, Thumper, Pterodactyl Tim, and more as they learn lessons from around the world.
Festival Fiasco
In Fiesta Fiasco, the lovable Bronto Brothers are back — and this time, they’re saving the town’s big summer celebration! Chaos threatens to cancel the fun when the headline act cancels at the last minute.
Tim Takes Flight
Tim Takes Flight is a prequel introducing the band to Pterodactyle Tim. High above the trees, Pterodactyl Tim caught the breeze. Watching from below, the Brothers were amazed. They had never seen music in motion before!
Musical Mischief
The Bronto Brothers were stopping by Miss Melody’s school, but instead of harmony, they found disarray: scattered instruments, broken cords, and a looming, canceled music program. With a burst of creativity and their signature dino-style, the Brontos rallied the students to clean up, tune up, and put on a show-stopping talent event to save the day.
Red, White, & Dino Blue
In Red, White & Dino Blue, the Bronto Brothers build a rolling stage out of old wagon wheels for the town’s 4th of July parade, but just as the parade starts, one of the wheels falls apart.
With teamwork, a new friend, and a touch of imagination, the parade becomes the best yet, earning The Brontos a Key to the City.
Moonlight Melody
The Bronto Brothers return to the jungle where it all began. Surrounded by swaying palms and a canopy of stars, the band reconnects with its roots in a soulful, after-hours jam session.
Moonlight Melody captures that quiet moment after the spotlight fades. Where friendships deepen, and rhythms echo through the trees long after the last chord is played.
The Bronto Brothers Website
The Brontos’ website was created to support my work as an independent author and to help fund the cost of publishing new books.
Producing children’s books involves real expenses, such as illustration, editing, and printing. Along with book sales on Amazon, this site and my Etsy shop help cover those costs so I can continue creating new stories and series.
You’ll also find short stories, updates, and creative extras, including free printable coloring book pages, crossword puzzles, and mazes. Our recent story introduces a new character, Luminara.
Excerpt: Luminara Joins the Bronto Brothers
Sitting beneath a tree, strumming an old guitar worn from playing, was a pale-colored dinosaur. She wasn’t performing or showing off. She just played, her head slightly down, with her fingers moving like they were telling a quiet story all their own.
“Hey,” Axe Raptor said. “Sounds great.”
The dinosaur stopped.
“Oh,” she said softly. “I… I only play a little. I didn’t mean to disrupt the show.”
“We’re on break,” he said with a smile. “You’re kinda stealing the show without even being on it.”
She blushed so faintly it was almost hard to see.
“I’m Luminara,” she said.
“Well, Luminara,” replied Axe. “You’ve got amazing timing. We’re short one harmony part.”
Luminara’s eyes widened.
“Oh, I couldn’t,” she said quickly. “I’m not really… a stage dinosaur.”
