BR-5 The dinosaur who lost his ROAR!

Sid lived in the middle of a big forest. (p.4)

He liked living in the forest. He liked “crashing” through bushes. He liked climbing tall trees. And he liked splashing in the river. But, most of all, sod liked scaring other dinosaurs. He had the loudest roar of all. One day, Sid went for a walk. He saw Spike-but Spike didn’t see him. Spike was picking berries. Sid crept up behind Spike, and gave a… ROAR! Splat Spike got covered in squashy berries. “Ha,ha” laughed Sid.　Sid didn’t like being laughed at. Felt bad. He didn’t like having sore throat either. So he ate a spoonful of honey, drank some warm water and went to bed. The next day, Sid’s throat was better. He decided to visit Spike, Ross and Ollie. “ Sid say sorry for scaring them,” he thought. Sid went to the Berry bushes-but Spike wasn’t there. He went to the tall trees-but Ollie wasn’t there. Sid saw some footprints. They were at the bushes and the river too. They weren’t Spike’s. Sid followed the footprints. The footprints led to…a huge dinosaur, called Rex. Rex had taken Spike, Ross and Ollie home for dinner. Sid wanted to scare Rex. But did he have a roar? There was only one way to find out.

Sid crept up behind Rex. He gave his biggest, strongest, loudest…ROAR! Rex was terrified. He ran off and didn’t look back.
