Kenta Suzuki of Yamanashi had a special dream. His favorite books to read from the library were always those about dinosaurs, but he wanted to learn a lot more about them. As he was thinking about this, a beautiful white unicorn appeared at his bedroom window.
When Kenta and the unicorn arrived at the shore of the beautiful lake, an apatosaurus (uh-pat-o-SORE-us) greeted them. He was longer than a big school bus. "What is your name?" asked Kenta. "I don't have one," answered the plant-eating dinosaur sadly. "No one has ever named any of us." Kenta thought for a while and then said, "I will call you Stretch."
While exploring, they met a stegosaurus (steg-uh-SORE-us). "He sure does have a lot of sharp points on his back," whispered Kenta. "Those are called plates," said the unicorn. "A stegosaurus uses them for protection. They also trap heat from the sun to help keep them warm." Kenta told the stegosaurus, "A great name for you would be Spike."
Not far away, they met an allosaurus (al-us-SORE-us). She had large teeth and stood on powerful, hind legs. A huge tail helped her to stand up. "So you are the one who is making all that noise," said Kenta. "I shall name you Alli." Alli said, "Thank you," as she handed Kenta a branch of flowers.
As they were talking, a tiny compsognathus (komp-sog-NAY-thus), about the size of a cat, raced past them and said, "You must follow me. There is something you will want to see." Kenta and Ariel chased after him. "Wow! He is as fast as lightning. That's a great name for him," shouted Kenta as he ran.
"I am!" echoed a voice, circling above them. Just then a large pterodactyl glided past them. Kenta found it hard to believe that a lizard could fly. Its wing span was about as long as his arm. Kenta decided that Dack would be a fine name for a flying lizard. The father pterodactyl glided down to the nest. Ariel was quietly talking to Dack, but Kenta could not hear what they were saying.
As they landed, a pentaceratops (pen-tuh-SARE-uh-tops) rushed to greet them. Kenta quickly counted the five horns on his head and decided to call him Penti. Then he asked if he could help them decorate. "I want you to come with me, but for a different reason," replied Penti. "We have a surprise for you!"
After the party, Alli, the allosaurus, told Kenta that it was time to leave for Yamanashi. Kenta was a bit sad, but could hardly wait to tell Taro, Hideki and Masaki about his exciting adventures. Before he left, they all thanked Kenta for the nice names he had given them.
