A scalable children’s story universe across books, audio and animation
Dino Fino is a German children's IP studio that develops interconnected stories for children aged 2 to 10 – designed for long-term publishing success.
Look at this simple equation:
1 Dinosaur Universe
+ 2 siblings
+ 3 children's book series
+ 10 years of reading fun
-----------------------------------
= infinite possibilities
We create characters that children love and that accompany them for years – not just individual titles. A large and diverse cast of characters allows for multiple storylines, different perspectives, and a long-term connection with the target audience.
Instead of individual, independent stories, Dino Fino offers an interconnected storytelling system that strengthens reader loyalty and promotes long-term engagement.
In early childhood, children develop a connection to Feodora and Gino.
As they get older, they move to Feodora's big brother Dino and his chaotic friend Ricky Rexkowski.
This creates a continuous narrative journey across different age groups – children remain part of the same universe for many years.
More than just books
Children today expect more than just individual stories.
They want characters they can grow up with, worlds they can return to again and again, and stories that continue. And they want to discover additional content… audio dramas, videos, board games, and other merchandise.
Our dinosaur universe is designed precisely for this purpose.
The Dino-Fino universe can naturally be expanded to include short story formats – not only books, but also audios, songs, videos, cartoons and educational materials.
If you would like further information, we will be happy to provide it to you.
SERIES OVERVIEW
Feodora + Gino (2–6 years)
Extremely cute main characters and heartwarming stories about friendship, feelings, and everyday challenges.
• strong emotional bond
• Perfect for reading aloud & for audio plays
• Ideal for early childhood
• Divided into two series: picture books for toddlers and children's books for preschoolers
Dino + Ricky (6–10 years)
Funny and adventurous stories about a special friendship, courage and growing up – full of humor, chaos and relatable situations that children can identify with.
• strong bond & lots of humor
• sometimes a little provocative – but in an endearing way
• strong series potential
• Age-appropriate suspense and crazy plot twists
A living, breathing world of stories
The Dino-Fino universe takes place in the town of Echsheim and its surroundings – a fully developed world with its own structures, rules and culture.
With over 70 characters and a dense network of relationships, the universe offers endless possibilities for stories across different age groups and formats.
Recurring locations, traditions and a unique internal logic create a strong identity and long-term loyalty among the target audience.
And once upon a time, people lived in this world. But they have disappeared. The reason for this is – still – unknown.
The future of children's storytelling
The right media mix will prevail.
Stories are no longer linear.
Children are increasingly discovering content interactively and independently – similar to games.
Our dinosaur universe was developed with precisely this change in mind.
