Adventure with the Bears and the Dinosaur

Hey there! Let’s go on a fun adventure with some friendly bears and a dinosaur. The bears are looking for a special book called “Hungry Bears.” But wait, what’s that over there? Is it a dinosaur? Yes, it is! It’s a big one, and we need to make sure it doesn’t scare away the books.

Meeting the Dinosaur

Our friends Melody, Boomer, Crystal, and Scout decide to say hello to the dinosaur. They want to make sure it’s happy and calm. “Hi, dinosaur! Have you seen a book around here?” they ask. But Boomer has a surprise for everyone!

Pirate Adventure

Boomer pretends to be a pirate captain and says the dinosaur is actually a pirate ship! “Come on, mates, let’s look for treasure!” he shouts. But the treasure they’re really looking for is a book!

Finding the Books

Scout and Boomer go on a hunt for the books. They find Crystal bobbing in the waves and help her warm up some eggs so they can hatch. Meanwhile, they remember to be quiet so they don’t disturb the dinosaur.

Storytime Fun

Finally, they find a book and gather around to read it. The story is called “Picture the Sky” by Barbara Reid. They learn that the sky can be many things, like a blanket or a playground. The sky is a place where everyone shares the same view, no matter where they are.

Another Story Adventure

After the first story, they find another book called “My Brother’s Napping” by Ruth Ohi. It’s about a little mouse trying to be quiet while his brother sleeps. They learn how important it is to be thoughtful and let others rest.

Looking for More Books

The friends use special sticks to look for more books. They wave flags and make sure to be quiet so they don’t scare away any hidden books. They find another book called “No Matter What” by Carrie Lynn Winters. It’s a sweet story about a boy and his dog who are best friends forever.

Sharing Stories and Adventures

Reading stories is so much fun! The bears and their friends love sharing adventures and learning new things from books. They know that books can take them on amazing journeys, just like the ones they had today.

Remember, books are everywhere, and they can’t wait to share their stories with you. Happy reading!

  • What do you think it would be like to meet a dinosaur? How would you feel, and what would you say to it?
  • If you could go on an adventure with the bears, where would you want to go and what kind of treasure would you like to find?
  • Have you ever read a book that took you on an adventure? What was it about, and what did you learn from it?
  1. Book Hunt Adventure: Just like the bears and their friends, you can go on a book hunt in your home or classroom! Ask an adult to hide a few books around the room. Then, pretend you are on a pirate adventure, looking for treasure. Can you find all the hidden books? Once you find them, gather around and choose one to read together. Talk about what you liked most about the story.

  2. Sky Art Project: In the story, the sky was described as many different things. Go outside and look at the sky. What do you see? Is it a blanket of clouds or a playground for birds? Use crayons, markers, or paints to create your own picture of the sky. Share your artwork with your friends and describe what you imagined the sky to be.

  3. Quiet Time Challenge: Just like the little mouse in “My Brother’s Napping,” practice being quiet and thoughtful. Find a cozy spot and sit quietly for a few minutes. What sounds can you hear when you’re really quiet? Can you hear birds, the wind, or maybe even a ticking clock? Share what you heard with your friends and talk about why it’s important to be quiet sometimes.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

Here come the Bears! The book “Hungry Bears” is over there by those rocks. Come on, don’t go near that dinosaur!

What dinosaur?

Over there! You’re right, Melody, I can see it, and it’s a big one!

I told you! Let’s go calm it down so it doesn’t scare away the books.

Okay, but you go first. I’ll be right behind you. Come on, Boomer, Crystal, you come too!

That’s so not a dinosaur!

That’s a good dinosaur!

There you go, who’s a good boy? Hi, dinosaur! Let’s give you a nice scratch. Um, dinosaur, have you seen a book around?

Boomer, you scared us, especially the dinosaur!

Yeah, Boomer, what are you doing?

I’m Pirate Captain Boomer! This isn’t a dinosaur; it’s a pirate ship! Come on, mates, let’s climb up and look for treasure!

You mean a book?

That’s right, Scout!

You sure are a great pirate, Boomer, but I can’t see your ship while you’re on it, Crystal, so be careful.

Scout, do you see it?

I do, Pirate Captain Boomer!

Come on, let’s go!

But what about the dinosaur, Scout?

We need to pet him; we scared him!

You pet him, and I’ll go with Boomer and look for books.

Captain Boomer, I’m coming! I’m going to look for books over there behind those rocks.

Who’s a good boy?

Hold tight, Scout!

See any books?

No, Pirate Captain Boomer, I mean no books.

Wait, I do see something! It’s Crystal; she’s bobbing in the waves! I hope she’s okay!

Oh, holy Crystal!

We’ll save you!

You’re going to upset the eggs!

Eggs? We’re here to save you!

Save me? I don’t need saving, but I need help! Help me warm up these eggs so they’ll hatch!

You’re right; there are so many of them! I’ll help you!

But we’re pirates!

Scout, tell Boomer how they need quiet.

Um, Captain Boomer, you’re making the dinosaur all grumbly with all the noise!

Let’s go pet him!

But this is a ship; it’s a nest of eggs!

Shh, it’s a dinosaur!

Scout, what do you think it is?

Um, it’s a place where books like to hide!

Come on!

Well, hello there, book! Would you like to share your story with us?

Yes!

Storytime! Is everyone close and comfy?

Let the story begin!

“Picture the Sky” by Barbara Reid.

Wow, that boy is swinging right into the sky! There is more than one way to picture the sky.

I just see a blue sky!

Me too!

It can be a blanket or the curtain rising on your day.

The sky can be an Eiffel Tower!

That’s the biggest sky I’ve ever seen!

It can slip into the background.

Oh, I see it; it’s right here!

You can find it up, down, or all around.

It can be a playground, a highway, a home.

The sky can be so many things!

This is the highway; see the geese in the plane zooming?

And here’s the playground; look at the ball!

The sky is a spider and butterfly’s home.

You can watch the passing parade; you may find a story in the sky.

See how the stars make the outline of a bear?

Bears like us!

Or a weather report; sometimes it’s movie night!

I love the boom thunder makes!

The sky can play hide and seek; it may say, “Let’s dance!”

Oh, wherever we are, we share the same sky.

It is the roof over our heads; we all share that sky, just like the woman eating breakfast.

She’s sharing the same sky as the boy going to bed.

Here, picture the sky. How do you feel?

Happy!

The sky is something I want to touch!

The sky makes me happy too!

Ooh, I bet there’s lots of adventure in here!

Yep, and surprises too!

Uh, Boomer, what are you doing?

Hiding so I can sneak up on adventure things!

Hey, Melody!

Where?

Boomer, you surprised me again!

Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to!

Scout, I was practicing my hiding to sneak up on adventure like this!

Now you see me, now you don’t!

That’s pretty good hiding, Boomer! Maybe you can sneak up on some books too!

Those books will never see me coming!

Then let’s find a book!

Yay! Books!

Looking for books to share! Could they be here? Could they be there?

Looking for books to share!

Boomer says adventure can surprise us at any minute, but I hope it’s not too loud!

There is Boomer and Melody!

Huh, what’s that sound?

What’s what sound?

Boomer, what was that?

It’s okay, Scout; it’s just a birdie! Nothing to be afraid of!

Look, this better not be another surprise!

It’s a good surprise!

A book! Come on, a book!

Hey, book! Hello there!

Come a little closer!

Would you like to share your story with us?

Yes!

Storytime! Is everyone close and comfy?

Let the story begin!

“My Brother’s Napping” by Ruth Ohi.

Look, the baby mouse is sleeping so sweet!

My brother’s napping; he really needs his sleep!

He was grumbly as a grouch and now lies in a heap.

He’s very noisy when he sleeps; his mouth hangs open wide!

But Mommy has forbidden me from putting things inside!

I don’t think that watermelon would fit in his mouth!

We must be very thoughtful and do our very best to keep the house a quiet place and let my brother rest.

What’s he going to do with that big pot?

Maybe he’s going to cook something!

Oh no, he’s going to bring the pots and wake his brother!

I can’t look!

Shh, your brother’s napping!

It’s okay, Scout; he didn’t wake his brother!

Aw, I wanted to see him bang the pots like this!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Reading stories can be quiet; reading is calm and makes me dream!

Unless there’s a scary part that makes me run!

Shh, your brother’s napping!

Yikes! The book is headed straight for the baby!

No, it’s going to miss him!

Oh good!

Painting pictures can be quiet; color brightly fills the space!

But Mommy says to keep the art off brother’s sleeping face!

Shh, your brother’s napping!

Don’t touch your brother’s nose with a paintbrush!

So I will just play quietly and build my little town!

The blocks and books will sit so still unless they all—uh-oh!

Those blocks look really tippy!

Oops! Oh no, the blocks are falling!

The baby’s awake!

I didn’t mean to wake him!

I’m sorry for the noise, but now the brother’s wide awake!

Let’s bring out all the toys!

Yes, playtime!

Now it’s big brother Mouse who’s tired!

Shh, my brother’s napping!

That’s so funny! Now the big brother is sleeping and the little brother has to be quiet!

Alright, that was a great story! Thank you, book!

Thanks for sharing!

Goodbye!

Nope, I found three more!

Look for a book sticks! One for you, Scout, one for you, Boomer, and one for you, Crystal!

This is an interesting way to look for books, but it’s worth a try!

How do they work anyway?

Okay, let’s bang our sticks so the books will hear us!

Books! Books! Looking for books!

Looking for books to share! Could they be here? Could they be there?

Looking for books to share!

Yay!

Huh, no books!

Maybe the books are hiding in the bushes!

Hiding like hide and seek!

Yes, and they want us to find them!

Let’s use our sticks to tickle them out!

Ready or not, books, here we come!

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Books, we’re coming to find you!

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Hello, any books in there?

Books are really good hiders!

Look, I have a flag!

Oh, I love flags! I want a flag too!

Boom! Perfect! If we all wave flags, maybe the books will come!

Okay, sure! Ready? Wave!

Yay! Wave your flag! Wave it high!

We’ll find books if we try!

Oh no, my stick for looking for a book is totally broken!

That’s too bad, Melody!

Yeah, we were having so much fun!

You can share mine!

Thanks, Scout! But we all need our own look for a book sticks; that’s how it works!

Guess I just can’t play anymore!

Huh, a book! Look, everyone, a book!

Look, we are so glad you came! Would you like to tell us your story?

Yes!

Storytime! Is everyone close and comfy?

Let the story begin!

“No Matter What” by Carrie Lynn Winters, illustrations by Pierre Pratt.

It’s about a dog! I love dogs and friends!

They’re playing ball together!

Yeah, the dog’s going to play too! I bet he’ll chase the ball all over the place!

Woof, woof, woof!

Old dog, sleepy dog!

Maybe the dog isn’t going to chase the ball!

What do you see when you lift your lazy lids and look at me?

Do you see me and think, “That’s my boy”?

Do you watch me and wonder, “Wasn’t that my toy?”

Look, that’s when the boy was a baby and the dog was a puppy, and the ball was the dog’s toy!

Ooh, pictures! There they are at the beach, and that’s a birthday party!

See the cake? Ooh, yum!

Do you wish that things were like they used to be?

And no matter what, you were there for me!

Wow, they sure are good friends, just like us!

Want to run with me now? Come here, bud!

Come on, come and play!

See, now they’re going to play ball!

Boomer, I don’t know; the dog is older now!

See the wrinkles around his eyes? He looks tired!

No, wait! Bud, stop!

Sit! Stay!

Is he going to leave his dog behind?

Looks like he might go play ball with his friends!

Old dog, sweet dog!

I hope that you see a no matter what friend when you look at me!

He stayed; they’re friends forever!

What a nice story!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Goodbye!
