Eine detailreiche Illustration des Dinosaurier-Universums des Dino Fino Verlags, das in den Geschichten vorkommt. Im Vordergrund steht ein hölzernes Schild mit der Aufschrift „Echsheim“, das auf den Namen dieser fantastischen Welt hinweist. Zahlreiche Dinosaurier und andere Saurier-Charaktere versammeln sich auf einer futuristisch gestalteten Landschaft, die von großen, schimmernden Planeten und einem Sternenhimmel umgeben ist. Links fliegen Pterodaktylen mit Capes, während rechts ein großer Hai mit Sonnenbrille und Lutschkugel grimmig schaut. Die Charaktere sind in lebendigen Farben und mit individuellen Designs gezeichnet, was die Vielfalt der Welt betont. Die Szene vermittelt eine lebendige, intergalaktische Atmosphäre voller Abenteuer und Fantasie.

Dino, Feodora and their parents

Dino Fino

Dino is ten years old and attends the Echsnasium. He's well-behaved, polite, and knowledgeable. He already reads real books and is very knowledgeable about the world. Dino is a good student. The other children like him a lot and trust him. That's why they elected him class representative. Somehow, fate brought him together with the mega-chaos Ricky. He always gets on his nerves. But he's never boring.

Feodora Fino

Feodora is a wonderful little dinosaur girl. Everyone who loves her calls her Fee for short. Feodora is six years old. She is in the first grade at SchuffZ, the school for peaceful coexistence. Fee loves little creepy crawlies and takes loving care of them. And because Fee is such a fantastic dinosaur girl, she's already had her very own children's book series.

Friedegunde Fino

Dino and Fee's mother is called Friedegunde. She is a very loving and caring mother and a great advisor to her children. She is an art and music teacher by profession. However, she is currently not working because she is taking care of the children. She is smart, understanding, and confident.

Federigo Fino, a Brontosaurus father from Italy with a wise look and proud bearing.

Dr. Federigo Fino

And this is the father, Dr. Federigo Fino. He works as a journalist for the Echsheimer Zeitung newspaper and is therefore quite knowledgeable about just about everything and everyone. He is of Italian descent; hence his name.

Rickbert Rexkowski and his family

Ricky

And here we have Ricky. Well, what can we say about Ricky? Ricky is a T-Rex. And because, as he says, "Rex" means king in "Talein," The little T-Rex with the stubby teeth has an incredibly big mouth, and all too often he babbles some kind of boastful nonsense. But he doesn't just talk a lot of nonsense, he also does a lot of stupid things. No matter what you say to him, Ricky does the opposite. He has boundless self-confidence. And his flatulence isn't bad either. Whenever it suits him, he calls himself the "King of the Dinosaurs."

Rabiata

Ricky's mother's name is Rabiata. She's generally quite shrill. This applies to her voice, her clothes, and even her makeup. She's very particular about her figure and appearance. Her two "superheroes" often drive her to the brink of a nervous breakdown. If she gets loud, you should stay out of her way. And you should definitely cover your ears.

snothead

Ricky's dad, Snotlout, is a pretty direct guy. To put it kindly. You could also say: rude. He's a building contractor by trade. And no matter where he is, he always thinks he has the right of way. Whenever he takes action, everyone else feels embarrassed. Anyone who wants to have a reasonable conversation with him needs a lot of optimism.

Roberta von Weidenstedt

Roberta is Ricky's aunt. She is Rabiata's sister and the complete opposite of her sister: smart, educated, quiet, and understanding. Roberta is a writer and travels the world. Whenever she visits the family, Ricky is thrilled. Finally, someone is there who truly cares about him and sometimes even sets his head straight.

Manzetti family

Gino

This little guy is Gino. Gino is 6 years old and goes to the SchuffZ with Feodora. He's her best friend. He has a very good gut feeling; he's very good at recognizing danger. Gino doesn't like it when someone approaches him quickly. Then he sometimes faints from shock. He loves everything to do with pirates. He wants to be as fearless as a pirate.

Tassilo

This is Tassilo, Gino's big brother. He's called Tipo. He goes to the Echsnasium. He often helps his parents at the ice cream parlor. He's a joke clown and often makes the family laugh.

Maria Manzetti, the warm-hearted and clever Triceratops sister of Gino and Tipo, always helpful and full of joie de vivre.

Mary

Maria is Gino's big sister. She's only home sometimes. She's studying because she wants to become a psychologist. She encourages her little brother whenever she can. She always reads him pirate stories to boost his courage.

Rosa Manzetti, the loving and caring mother of Gino, Tipo and Maria, known for her delicious ice cream creations and her big heart.

Pink

And this is the mother of Gino, Tassilo, and Maria. Rosa is a mother and ice cream seller with heart and soul. She constantly worries about her children. Her husband affectionately calls her Rosalita.

Lorenzo

Lorenzo, nicknamed Enzo, is a true Italian. He loves ice cream and invents a new flavor every day. Whether he's feeling unwell or in a bad mood, he lives by the motto: Ice cream is always good! The residents of Echsheim love him, his family, and his specialties.

The Knoblèr family - always at the forefront

Sauriah

Like Dino, Sauriah is also ten years old and attends the Echsnasium. She is confident, open-minded, and a good student. She likes Dino. She often doesn't understand why he hangs out with Ricky. She is the second class representative. Together with her friends Lucy and Gini, they are the "Echstastic Three." It's best not to mess with them.

Saumuel

Sauriah's brother, Saumuel, recently hatched from his egg. He's known only as "Kleini." He's truly adorable. Nevertheless, things aren't always easy for Sauriah with her new little brother. Now, nothing at home is the same.

Saubrina

Sauriah's mother is named Saubrina. She is an educated woman and very interested in politics. She has a strong sense of justice and likes to speak up when something needs to be clarified. She spent some time at the egg-laying and hatching clinic in Jurassisburg. But now her youngest offspring has hatched – and it's adorable.

Claude-Etienne

Inspector Claude Etienne Knoblèr is the father of Sauriah and Saumuel. He's also an investigator with the criminal investigation department. He always has his eyes and ears on the lookout for anything suspicious. And with a gang of robbers currently wreaking havoc in Echsheim, he certainly won't be bored!

Parmakickel family

Lucy

Lucinda, one of the "Ecstatic Three," is known to everyone as Lucy. She's quite self-confident and has two older brothers. Hence her big mouth. Together with Sauriah and Stegine, she's taken it upon herself to discipline the cheeky Ricky a bit. The three friends are a close-knit girl gang and stand up for each other.

Philomena

Lucy's mother, Philomena, already has two older sons. They no longer live at home. Philomena practices a lot of yoga and is quite knowledgeable about natural healing methods. Lucinda and her mother get along really well.

Balduin Parmakickel, the charismatic and experienced director of the museum in Echsheim, father of Lucinda Parmakickel (“Lucy”) and partner of Philomena Parmakickel.

Baldwin

Balduin Parmakickel is getting on in years and considerably older than Philomena. Lucy is often embarrassed when people mistake him for her grandfather. But he's pretty young at heart. Balduin works at the Echsheim Museum. He's interested in pretty much everything related to art and culture.

Schemelmeier family

Stegine

We know Stegine Schemelmeier better by her nickname Gini. She's an only child and a rather shy girl. Her parents work long hours and unfortunately have very little time for her. But Sauriah and Lucinda are firmly by her side. They don't mind at all that Stegine doesn't speak much. But you shouldn't underestimate her. Because she's always good for a surprise.

Sieglinde

Gini's mother, Sieglinde Schemelmeier, is a businesswoman through and through. Her day has far too few hours. She sometimes feels guilty about having so little time for her daughter. But when the new furniture arrives, it takes priority again.

Alfons

This is Stegine's father, Alfons Schemelmeier. He didn't have an easy life as a young dinosaur, as his parents had very few lizards. That's why he works as hard as he can. He definitely wants his daughter to have a better life. But for Stegine, money isn't everything...

Frzettskosczewzyvilli family

Edgar

Edgar comes from a faraway land, and that's why he speaks unusually. He's a new student in Dino and Ricky's class. His last name is a real tongue twister: Edgar Frzettskosczewzyvilli. No one can pronounce it. Edgar is a tinkerer. He can fix pretty much anything that's broken. His parents are agents, which doesn't exactly make his life easier. And more and more often, Edgar steps in when his mother and her colleagues need help. His father disappeared some time ago. But Edgar is certain: he'll see him again.

Svetlana

Svetlana is Edgar's mom; she's a pretty cool secret agent. She works for Sauropol and has already caught quite a few gangsters. She currently lives alone with Edgar on the Mammoth Trail. Her main task is to search for the big boss. But in reality, she's looking for her missing husband. Gradually, she's convinced, they're getting closer to solving the mystery. There may be a connection between her husband's disappearance and this mysterious gangster boss.

Igor

Well, you can probably tell at first glance: This is Edgar's father, Igor. He also works for Sauropol and has been missing for some time. He hasn't returned from a mission two years ago. Svetlana and her colleagues at Sauropol are working hard to find Igor. Will they succeed?

Vielhaber family

Spinosa

Spinosa is a well-bred girl from a good family. She plays the violin and receives private lessons at home. She doesn't attend public school. Her father keeps her away from other children as best he can so she doesn't get caught up in mischief. If that isn't a mistake, then perhaps she's already up to no good?

Lucrezia

Meet Lucrezia Vielhaber. She doesn't entirely share her husband Gottlieb's views. She quite enjoyed life in high society in Bonzenberg. That's why she commutes back and forth between the bustling capital and tranquil Echsheim. That's what the air taxi is for, after all.

Gottlieb

This is bank director Gottlieb Vielhaber. He and his family came from Bonzenberg to live a quieter life. He was a big name in the capital. And because he had so much money, he constantly had to worry about his family. It all became too much for him, so he now runs the bank in Echsheim.
