Dean loves exploring nature and discovering new things, especially animals and bugs. He enjoys being outside and learning how everything works.
Dean loves rhinos because they are big, strong, and kind of look like dinosaurs. He thinks their horn is really cool and likes how powerful they are.
Dean loves camping because it gives him something to do the whole time. He’s always out looking for animals or trying to figure out what he’s seeing or hearing. One of his favorite parts is the fire. He’ll spend forever finding the right sticks and takes it very seriously when it’s time to help build it. He doesn’t really sit still, he’s always moving, exploring, and paying attention to everything around him.
