The story

Long ago, the Earth was warm and green. Barnaby the Brontosaurus and his mighty friends ruled this giant world.

Barnaby stretched his long neck to munch on sweet treetop leaves, while Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped playfully in the ferns.

One evening, a bright, beautiful star streaked across the violet sky, lighting up the darkening prehistoric forest.

The air began to cool, and a soft breeze rustled the giant ferns. Barnaby and his friends looked up, sensing a big change was coming.

The green forests began to fade, and the great dinosaurs started a long march across the cooling plains to find warm valleys.

Barnaby and his mighty friend walked side by side, leaving deep footprints in the soft, muddy earth as they traveled.

Along the way, they shared the last sweet ferns, keeping each other warm and safe under the darkening skies.

With heavy eyelids, Barnaby and his friend curled up together in a cozy, sheltered valley as the first stars blinked awake.

A gentle wind sang a soft lullaby over the quiet valley, tucking the sleeping world under a blanket of glowing stardust.

Many years passed, and soft layers of earth and winter snow slowly covered the quiet valley, keeping their secrets safe.

Now, deep beneath the grassy hills, their giant bones have turned to stone, waiting to tell their wonderful story.

Today, we find their giant bones and footprints, reminding us of the wonderful, mighty friends who once ruled our beautiful world.
