My Dinosaur Adventure This book was created especially for Joshua Taylor At the age of  4 With Love From Mommy and Daddy December 25, 2008 3
Joshua Taylor  of  Dallas  had a special dream.  His  favorite books to read from the library were always those about dinosaurs, but  he  wanted to learn a lot more about them. As  he  was thinking about this, a beautiful white unicorn appeared at  his  bedroom window. 4
To his surprise, the unicorn spoke, "Josh, I want to take you to the Land of the Dinosaurs. Can you come with me?” Josh said, "Wow! I would love to go, but first I must ask permission and leave a note for Mommy, Daddy and Sarah." Moments later, the unicorn whisked him back in time to the Land of the Dinosaurs. 7
When  Josh  and the unicorn arrived at the shore of the beautiful lake, an apatosaurus (uh-pat-o-SORE-us) greeted them.  He  was longer than a big school bus.  “What’s your name?” asked  Josh . “I don't have one," answered the plant-eating dinosaur sadly. "No one has ever named any of us."  Josh  thought for a while and then said, "I will call you Stretch."  8
"Look at that mountain over there!" shouted  Josh , pointing off into the distance. "Is it on fire?"  he  asked. "Oh no, that's just a volcano," replied the unicorn. "Look all around you. The Land of the Dinosaurs is filled with many, many volcanoes, swamps and fern jungles."  Josh  added, "It's also very hot!" 11
While exploring, they met a stegosaurus (steg-uh-SORE-us). " He  sure does have a lot of sharp points on  his  back," whispered  Josh .  "Those are called plates," said the unicorn. "A stegosaurus uses them for protection. They also trap heat from the sun to help keep them warm."  Josh  told the stegosaurus, "A great name for you would be Spike 12
Next,  Josh  and the unicorn entered a dense, humid forest where they found giant ferns and many reptiles of all sizes and shapes. While there, they heard a strange, snapping sound in the distance and cautiously crept closer to investigate. After all,  Josh  had wanted to come here to learn as much as  he  could about dinosaurs! 15
Not far away, they met an allosaurus (al-us-SORE-us). She had large teeth and stood on powerful, hind legs. A huge tail helped her to stand up. "So you are the one who is making all that noise," said  Josh . "I shall name you Alli." Alli said, "Thank you," as she handed Josh a branch of flowers. 16
Josh  was having so much fun in the Land of the Dinosaurs that  he  had not noticed that  his  friend the unicorn was crying. "Why are you crying?" asked  Josh . "You have given names to everyone today except me," sighed the unicorn.  "Oh, I'm sorry. Ariel would be the perfect name for you," said  Josh . "I love it!" smiled the wide-eyed unicorn with a big grin. "Thank you!" 19
As they were talking, a tiny compsognathus (komp-sog-NAY-thus), about the size of a cat, raced past them and said, "You must follow me. There is something you will want to see."  Josh  and Ariel chased after  him . "Wow! He is as fast as lightning. That's a great name for him," shouted  Josh  as  he  ran. 20
They ran and ran until they came to some rugged, rocky cliffs. Lightning showed  Josh  a nest along the top of one of the cliffs and directed  him  to get a close look. The nest contained three baby pterodactyls (ter-uh-DAK-tuls). "Who is supposed to be taking care of these babies?" asked  Josh .   23
"I am!" echoed a voice, circling above them. Just then a large pterodactyl glided past them.  Josh  found it hard to believe that a lizard could fly. Its wing span was about as long as  his  arm.  Josh  decided that Dack would be a fine name for a flying lizard. The father pterodactyl glided down to the nest. Ariel was quietly talking to Dack, but  Josh  could not hear what they were saying.   24
Josh , Ariel and the pterodactyl flew back across the Land of the Dinosaurs until they once more reached the beautiful lake. This time  Josh  saw a lot of activity at the water's edge. Dinosaurs were decorating the beach with streamers and balloons.  Josh  wanted to help decorate and wondered if  he  could go to the party. 27
As they landed, a pentaceratops (pen-tuh-SARE-uh-tops) rushed to greet them.  Josh  quickly counted the five horns on his head and decided to call him Penti. Then  he  asked if  he  could help them decorate. "I want you to come with me, but for a different reason," replied Penti. "We have a surprise for you!" 28
The dinosaurs were gathered around a large two-tiered cake. "What a beautiful cake!" exclaimed  Josh . "It's for you!" shouted  his  new friends. Now  Josh  knew what Ariel had whispered to Dack. The dinosaurs realized that  Josh  had to return soon and had wanted to help  him  remember  his  first visit to the Land of the Dinosaurs. 31
After the party, Alli, the allosaurus, told  Josh  that it was time to leave for  Dallas .  Josh  was a bit sad, but could hardly wait to tell  Mommy, Daddy and Sarah  about  his  exciting adventures. Before  he  left, they all thanked  Josh  for the nice names  he  had given them. 32
Ariel flew  Josh  home and said, "I also have a surprise for you,  Josh ." In  his  room,  he  found a dinosaur cake with a personalized card signed by all the dinosaurs.  Josh  hugged Ariel for making  his  secret dream come true and told her how much  he  had enjoyed  his  trip to the Land of the Dinosaurs. "I will never forget what you have done for me! Thank you for my fabulous dinosaur adventure." 35
Here are the pronunciations for the dinosaurs you have read about in MY DINOSAUR ADVENTURE. Use your book to spell them correctly. (uh - pat - o - SORE - us) (steg-uh-SORE-us) (al-uh-SORE-us) (komp-sog-NAY-thus) (ter-uh-DAK-tuls) (pen-tuh-SARE-uh-tops) What other dinosaurs can you name,  Josh ?
