Dorothy the Dinosaur

This article is about the Wiggly Mascot. For the song, see here.

Dorothy the Dinosaur is one of the Wiggly Friends. She is a "rosasaur" (a dinosaur who eats roses), coloured green with bright yellow spots. She is usually seen wearing a white, floppy hat with a red rose in it, as well as white gloves. Dorothy loves singing, dancing, eating roses and making rosy tea, and she lives in a pink and purple house with a large rose garden in her backyard.
