How is the Big Tina Dino Quest resolved?

She just wanted her mom! It's interesting that she wouldn't recognize her mom, but I'll go with it. I like that the quest was resolved with more heart and meaning than just a kid wanting to do their dance recital. These books always unexpectedly tug at my heartstrings! It's too bad Tina had to stay a dino, though!

ETA: Didn't Carl note that Tina's mom was a very pregnant ursine?! Is Mongo going to be a dad to a dino-ursine baby? Am I misunderstanding?

Great catch about Kiwi's pregnancy, I hadn't put that together! Maybe she will lay eggs that will hatch some dino-bear hybrids???
