charlie's dinosaur by sarah derkey

ms haywood's class had been studying

dinosaurs for two whole weeks

they knew lots of dino facts

and were working very hard on dinosaur

art projects

today they were having a dino fest

sophia's group had picked apatosaurus

they were making a poster looking good

charlie's group didn't seem to be making

anything at all

they were clustered around the computer

whispering and giggling

i know cool huh

tim's group was working on triceratops

they had decided to make a clay

sculpture kind of looks like a dog maybe

we should stick the horns up more

charlie's group had stopped whispering

and giggling and was sitting at an empty

table with their hands folded

they even had ms haywood wondering what

was up

will you have something to show us yep

we promise

everyone was ready for the dino best

sophia's poop went first

the apotheosaurus lived about 140

million years ago

it was a plant eater or herbivore

it was one of the largest land animals

in history

some scientists think the apotasaurs

could crack its long tail like a whip to

scare away predators

excellent who's next

charlie but charlie wanted his group to

go last so it was tim's turn

tim's group held up its triceratops

they were very proud of how the horns

turned out

[Music]

the triceratops wasn't her before with

three horns and a huge bony frill on its

head it was strong enough to fight off a

tyrannosaurus rex fabulous

when tim's group finished it was finally

charlie's turn

may we be excused to go get our dinosaur

sure we're dying of suspense charlie

came back into the room carrying a cage

he pulled off a scarf that covered it

like a magic trick

presenting

kirby

hello

scientists have discovered that lots of

dinosaurs had feathers

feet and skeletons like the birds of

today

[Music]

so kirby is like a living dinosaur

everybody burst into cheers

this was one of their favorite dinosaur

facts when charlie's group was done

there was applause for everyone

and for kirby the talking dinosaur

the end

oh boy okay okay and now without further

ado

let's all reach out and touch our

special guest of the day

[Music]

i'm getting a cramp

i'm feeling extinct

barnaby busterfield iii memorial public

library how may i help you

the dinosaurs yes well they're gone

extinct to be exact

does extinct mean well um

it means defunct terminated departed

vanished

no longer on the planet

what colors were the dinosaurs well you

know

no one knows for certain

but but in his book

bone poems jeff moss offers some

wonderful possibilities

what colors were the dinosaurs well

no one's ever seen one

some think that if they saw a dino

it might be a green one

but here's another theory

think of birds and then you know

that these are the true colors

of the dinos long ago

[Music]

there were purple spotted stegosaurs

and blue iguana dawns

there were orange oval raptors

[Music]

and there you have

or not because of course no one's ever

seen one

ah

oh you're welcome professor gold

[Music]

t-rex is first alligator is second

apatosaurus is lost rounding the turn

it's t-rex first no alligator first no

t-rex first apothesaurus is stopping for

a stack into the final stretch it's

alligator no t-rex no alligator no t-rex

what a race apatosaurus is catching up

but is he too far behind

the punishers wins it by a neck

delicious

big is a word that's really swell a word

that we know really well but sometimes

big gets boring here are others i'm

adoring like huge and tremendous and how

about stupendous which brings me to

humongous which means very very big

which brings into him on this which

means

[Music]

yes i could go on endlessly forgive me

for not stopping there's monumental and

gigantic massive jumbo lapping not

little nuttini

the opposite of weenie my favorite is

humongous which means very very big

his favorite is your dispatch

both mammoths and gargantuan enormous

and colossal there's even dinosauric a

humongous kind of fossil

but oh my greatest love's the only word

that rhymes with

[Music]

until you are under the palm tree

climb out of the hole and continue to

the rope bridge over the babbling brook

if the bridge is broken proceed to plan

will get very very wet

if you happen to be a parrot you can fly

across rock i'm a parrot

hi mom

hi lionel

what you doing just a little work

sweetie

why what's up

well and i was just wondering

is cliffhanger brave or or is he scared

because he can't get off that cliff

well

maybe we should read a cliffhanger and

then talk about it huh yeah in fact

there's a great one right on that shelf

where over there

flying off the shelf once again it's the

continuing daring and dangling

adventures of

cliffhangers

today's adventure number 7657

cliffhanger and quentin quigley's quick

question

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last

hanging from a cliff

hold on much longer

suddenly

cliff sees a blimp with question marks

on it approaching his cliff

excuse me sir i'm quentin quigley and

you are on my popular quiz program of

this clip the show that could get you

off this cliff do you want to answer a

quick question quickly cliff reaches

into his backpack and extracts his

trusty survival manual

using his expert decoding skills cliff

begins to read

if quentin quickly asks you if you want

to answer a quick

question

say yes

yes

okay

here goes

true or false mr hanger are you going to

get up this cliff today

true

i am going to get off this cliff today

true oh i'm terribly sorry mr hanger but

the correct answer is false

better luck next time playing

off this cliff

and that's why he's called cliff hanger

can

hold on much

longer wow

so lionel what do you think

well mom

i think cliff is scared

but you know i think bravery is when you

do what you have to do

even when you're scared

cliffinger well he's a mixture of really

really brave and really really dumb uh

dumb

dumb what clever is not dumb he's

nothing like that well

sometimes people have strong opinions

about good books
