Once upon a time, in a land so green,
Dinosaurs roamed, and they could be seen,
From the massive Brontosaurus so tall,
To the Ankylosaurus with a shell so small.

The Stegosaurus had plates on its back,
And the Pterodactyl could really attack,
With wings so big, it flew through the air,
And chased its prey, without a care.

The Triceratops had horns on its head,
And the Parasaurolophus had a crest so red,
These creatures lived, long, long ago,
And now, their fossils, we get to know.

So let's imagine, and close our eyes,
And picture these creatures, up in the skies,
Roaring and playing, in a world so free,
A land of dinosaurs, for you and me.

Reflections

1. Can you name all the dinosaurs mentioned in the story?
2. Which dinosaur do you think was the biggest?
3. Which dinosaur had a shell?
4. Can you imagine what it would be like to fly like the Pterodactyl?
5. How do you think the Triceratops used its horns?
6. What do you think the crest on the Parasaurolophus was used for?
7. Have you ever seen a fossil before? What did it look like?
8. Can you draw your own picture of one of the dinosaurs in the story?
9. Do you think all the dinosaurs lived together in the same place?
10. If you could travel back in time, which dinosaur would you want to meet and why?
