Chapter 1 Roar!

Inside a small tent, Mike Evans lay

in his sleeping bag. A lamp flickered

next to him. Outside, frogs croaked in

the cool spring night.

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared

on the wall of the tent. A T. rex!

“ROOOAAR!!” growled a voice.

“Ahh!” screamed Mike, jumping up.

“Haha!” laughed Mike’s dad, Stanley.

He was twisting his hands in front of

the lamp’s light. “Not bad for a shadow

puppet, hey, Mike?”

“Very funny, Dad,” said Mike, settling

back into his sleeping bag. “Now I’ll

never sleep.”

“You should try to sleep,” his dad

said. “You never know, perhaps tomorrow

we’ll dig up arealtyrannosaurus rex.”

“Do you think?” Mike asked excitedly.

“If we’re lucky,” his dad replied. He

turned off the lamp. “Did you know

the first T. rex fossils were found –?”

“Here in Montana, USA in 1902,”

Mike interrupted.

“Wow!” his dad exclaimed. “You know

your dino facts! But did you know the T.

rex is a theropod, meaning –?”

“It walked on two legs instead of

four.” Mike laughed. “You asked me that

question last week, remember, Dad?”
