Once upon a time, there was a friendly dinosaur named Stacy Stegosaurus. One morning, Stacy forgot to eat her Dino flakes, and she was very hungry! She thought her friends looked like a yummy breakfast!
Stacy’s friends had to jump and run away quickly! But they weren’t scared because Stacy was their fun, hungry friend. She just wanted to play!
Oops! Stacy made a mess with crumbs everywhere. But don’t worry! The new Shell School vacuum cleaner was ready to help clean up.
When the vacuum turned on, it made a loud noise. Gus, one of Stacy’s friends, didn’t like the noise. It made him feel uncomfortable.
Shella, another friend, had an idea. What if they made the vacuum look like a dinosaur? They named it Vacuumasaurus! Now, it looked just like Stacy with a big, curved back.
Gus still didn’t like the noise, so Shella gave him special ear protectors. They made the noise much quieter, and Gus felt better!
Later, Lou brought a surprise for everyone—cupcakes! Everyone was so excited and sang a cupcake song. They couldn’t wait for snack time!
Barnaby had a special twig named Twiggy. Twiggy was his favorite, but one day Twiggy broke. Barnaby was sad, but his friends tried to help him find a new twig.
Lou got new shiny pink shoes with a dot on the side. Everyone loved them! Lou was excited to wear them to Shell School.
At Shell School, everyone played and had fun. They loved their new shoes and sang songs together. It was a happy day with lots of adventures!
And that’s the story of Stacy Stegosaurus and her friends. They learned that even when things are loud or when special things break, friends can help make everything better!
Design Your Own Dino Vacuum: Just like Shella and her friends turned the vacuum into a Vacuumasaurus, you can create your own dino vacuum! Use paper, crayons, and stickers to design a dinosaur face and body that you can attach to a toy or a small box. Think about what colors and shapes you want to use. How does your dino vacuum help make cleaning fun?
Sound Exploration: Let’s explore different sounds around us! Close your eyes and listen carefully. What sounds do you hear? Are they loud or quiet? Try making your own sounds using objects like spoons, paper, or toys. How do these sounds make you feel? Can you find a way to make a loud sound quieter, just like Gus did with his ear protectors?
Friendship and Problem Solving: In the story, Barnaby was sad when Twiggy broke, but his friends helped him. Think of a time when you helped a friend or when a friend helped you. Draw a picture of that moment. How did it make you feel? What are some ways you can help a friend who is feeling sad or has a problem?

Stacy Stegosaurus: I forgot to eat my Dino flakes this morning! She thinks we’re breakfast.
Ah, stop! Jump, jump! You two look extra tasty. Quick, go before Stacy!
I’m not scared of dinosaurs; you’re my fun, hungry friend. Yum!
I can see you getting in my Dino belly. Oops! Uh-oh, I made a mess.
Not to worry; this looks like a job for the new Shell School vacuum cleaner!
Cleaner ready? Let’s suck up those crumbs, shall we?
I don’t like it.
Oh, Gus, you didn’t like that?
No, I didn’t. The vacuum’s too loud.
Ah, the noise made you uncomfortable. It’s off now. What happened is Gus is scared of the vacuum cleaner. Maybe that’s why you ran away, but it sucks all the mess up.
The vacuum’s not scary, really; you just switch it on, and it goes.
I just don’t like it.
Gus doesn’t like the sound of the vacuum. So what if we leave it all for now?
Okay, Shella. It’s sad Gus doesn’t like the vacuum. I know I want him to have fun with it like I do.
Yeah, it’s really fun! It was the noise that made him upset; it’s too loud for Gus.
It goes “Roar!” just like a dinosaur, and Gus loves those!
Look, the vacuum is just like Stacy! It has a big curved back like Stacy.
Yes, yes, yes! And look, you can see food in its dinosaur belly.
It’s all empty; it might be hungry! It wants to eat the snacky crumbs, and when you turn it on, it roars just like Stacy too!
Roar!
No, don’t turn it on! The noise makes my body feel shaky inside.
I thought you liked dinosaurs!
I do; that’s a vacuum, not a dinosaur.
Oh, what if it looked even more like a dinosaur?
I don’t know…
Maybe Shella can we make the vacuum look more like Stacy? Can we, please?
If it’s okay with you, Gus.
Okay!
Wow! It’s going to be a stick of green just like you!
All finished!
Who brought a real dinosaur into Shell School today? I thought they were extinct!
It’s Stacy’s mom, who names her Brian Wendy Carella Carl Vacuumasaurus!
I really like your name, Vacuumasaurus! Nice to meet you!
She’s so spiky!
I want to take Vacuumasaurus for a Dino walk!
Okay!
I won’t turn Vacuumasaurus on, though.
Okay, Gus, I want to hear Vacuumasaurus!
But I would feel…
So you’d like to hear her without feeling uncomfortable?
I know what might help!
What are those?
Extra special ear protectors! They’ll make the noise much less loud.
You want to try them?
Okay!
Do you want to hear a roar with those on?
What? Are you ready?
Yeah! It’s not so loud now; I feel okay in my body!
Now I think Vacuumasaurus is still hungry!
There, all gone!
Oh, hi there, Lou! What’s in that box?
I’ve baked cupcakes for you all to have at snack time!
I love cupcakes!
I’m glad to hear that, Shella! What if the cupcakes are a surprise for everyone else?
Oh, sure, Lou! They could be a surprise if that’s what you want!
Yay! Thank you!
Okay, I’ll put these somewhere safe until snack time.
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!
Oh, hi Barnaby! Why are we saying cupcakes over and over?
I don’t want to say…
Okay, then! Celebrate this!
Cupcakes for snack time!
Shh! Don’t tell anyone; I want it to be a surprise!
Sure!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!
Hey girl, want to build a tower with me?
Ooh, sure! Fly, fly as high as you can!
You can’t catch me; I’m the flying gingerbread!
Come back here; I want to eat you!
Cupcakes!
Oh, I love cupcakes!
Me too! I wish I had a cupcake right now!
People, guess what? Shella made us cupcakes for snack time!
We’re getting cupcakes! Woohoo!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!
I love our cupcake song!
Me too! And guess what? We’re getting cupcakes at snack time!
Yeah, Shella made them for us!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, yum, yum, yum!
Cupcakes, cupcakes!
Hey, want some disgusting soup?
No, Mary! I’m going to have the cupcakes that Shella made for us for snack time!
We’re getting cupcakes!
Cupcakes here!
Thank you!
Oops, sorry! I’m just so excited; we’re getting cupcakes!
How do you know about the cupcakes? I wanted it to be a surprise!
We’re getting cupcakes! Sing along!
We’re getting cupcakes!
Ding! It’s not a surprise anymore!
I brought a tower to play with us!
I brought someone too!
Hello!
Hi, Tara! I am Twiggy!
It’s a twig!
Twiggy is my most special twig; he fits in my pocket and goes everywhere with me!
Hello, Twiggy!
Hello, Tara! Have fun, Lovebug!
Bye!
How about we play?
Tara and Twiggy are going to Shell School!
Yeah!
Ready, Twiggy?
Ready, Tara?
Go, go!
Yay!
Hey, a rocket!
3, 2, 1…
Woohoo!
Uh-oh, Twiggy! It’s okay; you’re okay!
Twiggy’s broken!
I’ll fix it!
I’ll find you an even better Twiggy!
Mama T, I’m so sad! Twiggy broke!
Poor Twiggy! No wonder you’re sad; you loved him!
I did love him so much, and I love you so much!
Lola, I better go catch you!
I know you’re still sad, and I’m right over there if you need me!
Look, Lola! That’s not your nappy!
Look, Barnaby! I found you a twig that’s even bigger than Twiggy!
Hello, baby! I will be a special twig!
It’s too big for my pockets!
This twig isn’t Twiggy, but it’s a twig!
Twiggy is just a twig!
Twiggy wasn’t just a twig; he was my extra special twig!
What if I tried to give you a different dinosaur?
I wouldn’t like that!
Tara’s my special dinosaur; I love her!
Twiggy was my special twig; I loved him!
Oh, I’ll make Twiggy all better!
Twiggy, you need to stick back together right now!
Oh no, no, no, no! You’ll have to stay together, Twiggy!
I’m sorry, Barnaby; Twiggy broke, and I’m so sad because you loved him!
And I can’t fix him, and now he’s…
Twiggy’s ready to go!
Yep!
Oh, are you going to school in your socks today?
No, of course! You’re going to wear your new shoes!
Yes, new shoes! Look how little your old ones are!
You’re growing up so fast!
I know I’m a big bug!
Indeed, you are!
So are we going to put them on your hands?
Daddy, go my feet!
Ah, good plan!
There we go!
I love my new shoes!
I love my new shoes with the dot on the side!
I love that they’re pink and all shiny new, and everyone else will love them too!
Well, I certainly love them, Lou!
Yes!
She is here!
Morning, Lou! Ready for Shell School?
Yep!
Morning! Let’s go!
All aboard!
Yep, yep!
Yes, and we’re off!
Woo!
Morning, bugs! I’m happy to be spending the day with you today!
How’s everybody?
I’m happy ’cause I’m going swimming after school!
How exciting!
Anyone else?
Is it playtime now?
I guess so, G! Let’s play!
I love my new shoes with the dot on the side!
I love that they’re pink and shiny new!
Do you like my shoes? They’re new!
Do you like mine? They’re old!
Oh, if you look, you can see the dot on the side!
Beep beep!
Racer is faster than a truck!
No, it isn’t!
Babies and lovebugs, ’cause you’re new!
New shoes!
And the bugs all lived in a big giant shoe!
Wow, that is a big shoe!
Do you think it has a toilet in it?
Oh yes, I think so!
All those bugs need a toilet!
Addie, Dean, look at my new shoes! They’re bigger than my old ones!
