Hi Everyone. Welcome back to Stockport Libraries storytime. This week's Storey is called Knock Knock Dinosaur by Caryl Hart and Nick East. knock knock! who's at the door? Whoa! One real life dinosaur! Aw, he smiles at me and waves his claw. I say hi and he say's Roarrr! 2My mum's in town." I try to say "we weren't expecting guests today," but the T Rex sniffs and rubs his tummy. He thinks Mom's apple pie smells yummy. I say, "Perhaps you'd like some lunch?" he thunders past and munch Crunch crunch. "This is kind of fun," I think. as i pour the dinosaur a drink. Something makes a dreadful crash. It's two triceratops. Thump Bash Bash! Then THREE stegosaurus clump upstairs. Oh Help! there are dinosaurs everywhere. This is not Good. What shall I do? They're coming through the windows and down the chimney, too, FOUR velociraptors are drawing on the wall. FIVE allosaurus skateboard down hall, The kitchen's in chaos.The dining rooms a mess. and who's in the garden is anybody's guess! From upstairs comes a bubbly laugh. There are SIX Apatosauruses splashing in the bath! from in mums room come snorts and squeaks as SEVEN small iguana dons play hide and seek. "Oh, goodness! This is gone to far - Someones wearing mum's new bra!" EIGHT giganotosaues have knickers on their heads. and NINE oviraptors are jumping on the beds. "Hey!" I yell "You can't do that!" TEN pterodactyls play "catch dads hat" The bath goes SPLOSH! the mirrors SMASH! The bed springs GROAN! The vase goes CRASH! "That's it!" I say "you've had your fun it's time to go - Now off you run!" But the dinosaurs beg, "Oh, let's just stay! we're having such a lovely play!" I stamp my foot, i grab the mop, then shout out... EVERYBODY STOP! The T-Rex shrugs "You paid for us, So what's the point in all this fuss? Just read this note. You'll see where Right it say's so here in black and white" I read the notes I rub my eyes. "Dinosaur playset ACTUAL SIZE!" Actual size. Oh, silly me I thought you don't be small, you see, But actual size means you are ENORMOUS, like a real tyrannosaurus. It seems mum made a small mistake, An error ANYONE could make. She didn't read the small print right. when she clicked ORDER late last night. Just then I hear a car arrive. It's tyres are crunching up the drive. "Mum's home!" I cry now we're in trouble. "Just look at all this dust and rubble." She won't be happy, Not at all to see those claw marks on the wall. Don't worry" said the dinosaurs "were used to doing household chores" then round and round the house they rush. Swish Swish swoosh swoosh brush brush brush! So when Mum walks in through the door, the house is cleaner than before. She puts her heavy shopping down. "What's happened while I've been in town?" "Not much," I say. I stayed indoors... playing with my dinosaurs, " so for today's song, i thought we would do Row Row Row your boat. So if your ready, get your boats ready. Row Row Row your Boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile, don't forget to Scream!
