Today's story is called Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp. It's written by Carol Diggory Shields, illustrated by Scott Nash. And I'm reading this to you today with permission from Candlewick Press. Thanks guys. Word went out across the prehistoric slime. Hey dinosaurs, it's rock and roll time. Slick back your scales and get ready to romp on Saturday night at the Dinosaur Stomp by the lava beds and the tar pit shore on the mountain top and the rainforest floor. Dinosaurs scrubbed their necks and nails. They brushed their teeth and curled their tails. Can you show me your dinosaur claws? Those are some big teeth to clean. I wonder how long it takes them. Then, ready set go, they trampled and tromped making dinosaur tracks for the dinosaur stomp. Will you stomp with me? Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, plesiosaurus paddled up with a splash. A pterodactyl family flew in for the bash. Can you fly like a pterodactyl? Proud of Sarah Tops brought along her eggs. Diplodocus. Plotted on big fat legs. A batch of bouncing babies followed Mama Myosaur. The last time she counted, she had 24. That's a lot of dinosaurs to look after, huh? The old ones gathered in a gossiping bunch sitting and sipping their sweet swamp water punch. Dinosaurs giggled and shuffled and stared, ready to party, but a little bit scared. Ever felt a little bit scared or nervous about going to a new place or to a party with a lot of people? Turns out dinosaurs feel kinda nervous and scared too before big parties. Then a guanodon shouted, one, two, three. Started up the band by waving a tree. Brachio, super and ultrosaurus saying doo-bop, loobop, and a chorus. Ankylosaurus drummed on his hard-shelled back. Boom-a-lack-a-boom-a-lack-a-wack-wack-wack. A boom-a-lack-a-boom-a-lack-a-wack-wack-wack. Penta-Sara Tops stood up to perform and blasted a tune on his favorite horn. They played in rhythm, they sang in rhyme, dinosaur music in dinosaur time. Duckbill thought he'd take a chance, asked Allosaurus if she'd like to dance. Tarkia winked at a stegosaurus she liked. They danced together, spike to spike. The triassic twist and the brontosaurus bump, the raptor rap and the Jurassic jump. Can you jump? Tyrannosaurus rec flat a conga line. There he is. Carnosaurus capered close behind. They rocked and rolled, they twirled and trumped. There never was a party like the dinosaur stomp. Let's stomp again. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. The nighttime sky began to glow. Volcanoes put on a fireworks show. The ground was rocking, it started to shake. Those dinosaurs danced up their first earthquake. The party went on, it was so outrageous. They stayed up well past the late Cretaceous. Have you ever stayed up late at night one time? Did you feel really tired? When I'm at a party, I usually don't get very tired. When the Cenozoic dawns, they were tired and beat. They yawned, and they put up their feet. And they're still asleep, snoring deep in the swamp. But they'll be back next dinosaur stomp, the end. Today we're gonna be doing a rhyme called Five Enormous Dinosaurs, which you can do along at home with me. If you have dinosaur toys, you can pick out your five favorite ones. I picked out a, forgive me if I mispronounce this one, Parasolophilus. I got a Tyrannosaurus rex, my favorite, Brachiosaurus. Which one's this called? You know this one, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops. All right, if you don't have five dinosaur toys at home, you can count with me using just your hand. Five Enormous Dinosaurs letting out a roar, rah! One stomped away, and then there were four. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, two, three, four dinosaurs. Four Enormous Dinosaurs knocking down a tree, clunk. One stomped away, and then there were three. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. One, two, three dinosaurs, here we go. Three Enormous Dinosaurs eating tiger stew. Ew! One stomped away, and then there were two. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Now we just have one, two. Two Enormous Dinosaurs sitting in the sun. One stomped away, and then there was one. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. One Enormous Dinosaur left all alone. She stomped away, and then there were none. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. An action song called Five Dinosaurs Riding in Cars. So let's go ahead and get in our cars, close the door, put on our seatbelt, check our mirrors, key and ignition, really good time. They said step on the gas and we'll go really fast and they did until one got a flat. Step on the gas and we'll go really fast. Step on the gas and we'll know what I'll do.
