Two mighty dinosaurs grooved, posed, and charmed their way into children’s hearts at the 44th Sharjah International Book Fair
Sharjah, November 11, 2025
The prehistoric was revisited at the 44th Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) with two giant dinosaurs walking down the halls and filling the event with bursts of energy, peals of laughter, and wide-mouthed wonder. The Giant Dinosaurs show was a hit, as the performers’ playful antics enchanted both children and adults.
As peppy music filled the air, the dinosaurs began to groove in sync. Watching the dinosaurs dancing along to the upbeat music was enough to make even the shyest of the little ones smile. The schoolchildren in attendance were excited to line up for pictures and were seen bursting into laughter as they reached out to touch the dinosaur’s nose.
“At first, I was a little nervous to touch the dinosaur, but it has been super fun to see them dance,” said Sarah, one of three friends who couldn’t stop smiling through the performance. Her friends Julie and Nirvan added, “This was such an entertaining way to start our morning!”
The dinosaurs, mighty yet surprisingly gentle, were quick to charm their audience. They greeted all the children, who squealed in delight. Some of the brave kids even patted the dinosaurs’ scaly sides, while others struck creative poses for “dino selfies.”
As the creatures made their way across the halls, children waved enthusiastically, their faces lighting up, and they were excited to interact with the towering figures. What started as curiosity soon turned into pure joy, showing that a bit of imagination and two friendly dinosaurs can make even an ordinary morning feel truly magical.
