DINOSTORY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON CD CLICK HERE TO ORDER A COPY

Dinostory is a Rock'n'Roll musical for families. Mike Whitla takes us on a musical journey back in time to the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago when the dinosaurs ruled the earth. It tells the story of a baby triceratops who, as an egg, was separated from his siblings and hatched on its own. Little Terri has to go out into the world and find where she belongs. Terri's challenges include finding food and drink as well as a searching for a community that she can call home. Along her journey, Terri is lucky to find other plant-eaters who help her out. Dinosaurs such as Jenny, the Ankylosaurus, and the peculiar Stegosaurus are some of the dinosaurs Terri encounters along her way. Of course the late cretaceous period also has its share of flesh eating monsters, like T-Rex, who are not as friendly and Terri will need all the help she can get if she is to survive.  The music is rich and dynamic. As well, it makes more than one reference to dinosaur musics of the past (classic rock, jazz, and reggae). Of course, this cd also features all your favourite Rainbow Songs instructors.

What the reviewers are saying:

Our story begins with an egg. . .

The Egg

An egg is laid and sits in a pile in a nest.
On the side of a hill,
They lie very still and they wait.
Seeing what time will create.

An egg, it falls and rolls down the side of the hill.
Sits in the sand,
Warmed by the sun where it rests.
Far from the eggs in the nest.

An egg it cracks and out comes a baby dinosaur.
With three tiny horns,
On the day it was born it peeks out,
Wondering what this world's about.

Little Terri makes a friend. Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus

Terri: Stegosaurus, why have you spikes on your tail?
Steggy: They keep me safe. Watch me when I swing my tail.

Terri: Stegosaurus, why have you spikes on your tail?
Steggy: My spikes go pow. Watch me if T-Rex comes 'round.

Look up in the sky. . .

T-Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex

Oh Yeah! My name's T-Rex.
I'll eat who ever is next.
I'm the king of all Tyrannosaurs.
I'm the meanest thing that you have ever met!
Oh Yeah! My name's T-Rex.
Watch out or you'll be next.
