Life is tough when you're four years old and your daddy is a soldier fighting in a far-away war. But Abigail finds a wayto be brave when her grandmothers create a dinosaur costume using magical thread. With the dinosaur snapped to hergreen pajamas, she promptly names him Rumpus. Although Abigail's own ears don't hear as well as other children's, shequickly discovers that only she can hear the dinosaur's deep voice.

Together they begin a year-long exploration of her grandparents's Texas ranch, where their adventures include bottlefeeding a baby calf, learning the proper way to call an elk, and finding a suitable tail for a tailless monkey.
