Welcome... to Dinosaur Bay

Have you ever wondered what happened to the dinosaurs? Today, everyone believes that these fantastic creatures are extinct and never to be seen again.... or are they. Somewhere off the coast of America’s pacific northwest, there lies a truly remote island called Dinosaur Bay.  

Surprisingly in this Prehistoric Paradise, many dinosaurs and other ancient saurian species have not only survived but continue to flourish even after millions of years. Then one faithful day, something new would arrive on the island. On a beautiful day, a little dinosaur was taking a stroll through the forest.  

His name is Parker the Parksosaurus (PAHRK-so-SOR-us), a little dinosaur with a big heart. Parker was just having a normal day but as he was about to pass by the beach, the little dinosaur noticed something new on the island.  

What in the Mesozoic is that? the little dinosaur wondered curiously. It’s truly not like anything I've ever seen on Dinosaur Bay and I've seen a lot of interesting things.  

Peaked with interest, the little dinosaur decided to check the mysterious object out. Walking down to the shore, Parker got a closer look at the object in question which is a boat. The little dinosaur had never seen a boat before, and it was certainly quite a curious discovery.  

Well, I have to admit, Parker thought to himself. This thing is truly Jurassic Fantastic!  

After getting himself on board, the little dinosaur proceeded to check out the deck. As he looked around, Parker became astonished by the many different things he found on board. As he continued to look around the deck, the little dinosaur was caught by surprise when he heard someone say...  

Jacob, are you back yet?  

Upon hearing the new voice, Parker the Parksosaurus quickly realized that he wasn’t alone on the boat. Looking around, the little dinosaur searched for whoever was on the boat with him. Sure, enough as he turned around, Parker found himself face-to-face with a brand-new creature. After being startled by the little dinosaur’s presence, the creature ran away from Parker and tried to find a place to hide. Seeing how worried the creature was by his presence, Parker knew he had to assure it that he isn’t a threat. So, walking up to where the creature hid, the little dinosaur proceeded to introduce himself.  

Uh, hello there, the little dinosaur greeted. Sorry if I startled you, but I was just curious about this thing on the beach and I wanted to check it out. My name is Parker and I am a bipedal plant-eating dinosaur called a Parksosaurus. Do you have a name?  

Now the creature became even more astonished that the little dinosaur could speak, but felt relieved that Parker has no interest in harming it. Gaining enough courage, the young creature let out a reply.  

M...my name is Molly Maple, the creature replied. I am something called a human, which I guess to you is a type of giant mammal.  

A Dino-sized mammal?! Parker gasped in surprise. Now that’s something you don’t see every day on Dinosaur Bay, but how did you end up on the island anyway?  

Molly didn’t exactly know how to explain her situation to her new prehistoric acquaintance but decided to tell her story the very best she could. She explained that she came from a place called Amber Hills and that she and her brother Jacob were kicking off the summer with a small boat tour around the cove. It seemed they took a wrong turn and Molly got seasick and had to lie down. When she awoke, she realized Jacob was nowhere around. It became clear to Parker that this sweet little girl could use some help, and he decided that he should be the one to help her.  

Maybe until we can find your brother, Parker explained. You could stay with me at my hollow tree for a while."  

You mean spending time with a dinosaur, Molly said in surprise. Well, I don’t want to be any trouble…  

Relax it’s the least I can do, assured Parker. Just get what you need and then I’ll escort you there.  

Moments later Molly ventured outside with her new Dino pal. She was surprised by the lush and beautiful primeval world of Dinosaur Bay.  

The two ventured through the cedar swamp, they decided to stop near a stream where Molly looked on in astonishment at the magnificent variety of plant-eating Dinosaurs on the other side of the stream such as the docile Camptosaurus (KAMP-toe-SOR-us), the plated and spike tail Stegosaurus (STEG-o-SOR-us), and the gigantic long-necked Brontosaurus (BRON-to-SOR-us) as they fed on the local vegetation and drank from the stream.  

Molly was in awe at the prehistoric flora and fauna residing on the island, and she became even more astonished as an Avisaurus (Av-ee- SOR-us) flew overhead. Parker easily recognized the Proto-bird as one of his friends... Flap.  

Oh, hey there Parker, said Flap. What’s shaking, my down to Earth buddy?  

I would like you to meet my new friend, said Parker. This is Molly, and she’s a kind of Dino-sized mammal called a human.  

Flap landed on the branch of a tree, to get a really good look at the human girl. To say the least, the Avisaurus was quite impressed, and after hearing Molly’s situation, Flap decided to assure the young child.  

I do hope you find your fellow mammal, said Flap.  

Thank you Flap, Molly replied.  

I better get going, Flap told the two. I got some tasty insects to catch.  

Very well then Flap, replied Parker. "I’ll see you later.  

It was truly nice to meet you Flap, said Molly. Take care.  

Parker and Molly continue walking through the forest until
