Michael Underwood - The Dinosaurs Are Having a Party CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Hello, I'm Michael. You must be here for the dinosaur party.

It's starting very soon and you're invited. Shall we go together?

Great.

The Dinosaurs Are Having A Party is by Gareth P Jones and Garry Parsons.

The dinosaurs are having a party. It starts precisely at three.

But I'm a boy, not a dinosaur, so I'm pleased they've invited me.

The dinosaurs are having a party. It isn't too far on the bus.

The house is vibrating and shaking

but the neighbours aren't making a fuss.

A big dinosaur appears by the door. He smiles and says, "Hello.

"There are plenty of meat-eaters in here. Are you sure you want to go?"

The dinosaurs are having a party. Some are extremely tall.

Others inside are terribly wide, so I squeeze my way through the hall.

Stepping inside one of the rooms, there's a game of musical chairs.

A little one loses and wails, "Not fair!

"Nobody cares!"

So they change instead to musical bumps. The music suddenly stops.

The little one looks like he's winning,

till he's squished by a triceratops.

The dinosaurs are having a party. There's plenty of food to gobble.

There are jellies of every flavour,

though something is making them wobble.

There's a barbecue in the back garden,

though I can't see a morsel of meat.

The cook suggests I sit down but I don't like the look of the seat.

The bouncy castle is lots of fun for the whole of the dinosaur gang

until a huge stegosaurus jumps on and bursts the whole thing

with a bang.

There's a really long queue for the toilet. Someone is being too slow.

One desperate dinosaur is shouting, "Hurry up! We all need to go!"

TOILET FLUSHES

Someone is flushing the toilet then slowly pushing the door,

a terrible pong spills out,

then T-Rex steps out with a roar!

I go to grab a party bag.

I've had such a lot of fun.

But T-Rex spots me sneaking out, so I break into a run.

I run and run and run some more, I only just catch the bus.

The driver shouts, "Hold tight, everyone! The T-Rex is after us."

The driver turns left, then right, then left,

trying his best to confuse him. He goes round and round in circles.

Hurrah! We finally lose him.

I mostly enjoyed the dinosaurs' party.

There is just one little snag.

I don't think the bag I picked up was really a party bag.

CRACKING

CHEEPING

Oh, dear. I don't think that WAS a party bag.

It looks like he accidentally picked up a dinosaur egg instead

and it hatched into a baby T-Rex!

Hopefully, though, it'll turn out to be a friendly T-Rex.

That's story time over for today.

It's your bedtime now, so off you go to get tucked in.

I'll be back soon with another bedtime story. Night-night.
