Pizzasaurus

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Okay, our friends, so today we are reading you something totally different.

**Lisa Bueno** (0:07)
So buckle up, because that's kind of what our vibe is right now.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:10)
We're kind of just bouncing all over the place.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:12)
Today's story will be called Pizzasaurus.

**Lisa Bueno** (0:16)
This story was written by Tammy Sauer, and it is illustrated by Kyle Beckett, and it's read today by Mommy, and an egg.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:28)
A suspiciously large egg, but an egg nonetheless.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:36)
Oh, it's a cracking egg.

**Lisa Bueno** (0:43)
Oh, it has popped open, and inside of the egg is a giant baby green axolotl Santa Claus with a cute hat.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:59)
Well, you know, friends, we got all kinds of things up in here today.

**Lisa Bueno** (1:06)
So I am pleased that my baby green axolotl Santa Claus with a cute hat is here with me today. Would you like your story?
Excellent. Let's get right down to it, shall we? Okay, when we open the book, we see some dinosaurs and it says, You look like someone who knows a lot about dinosaurs. Of course, you've heard of Tyrannosaurus, Rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:35)
Who hasn't?

**Lisa Bueno** (1:37)
And you're probably familiar with Apatosaurus, and Ankylosaurus, and rather adorable Velociraptor.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:45)
The six of them are pretty much stars of the dinosaur world.

**Lisa Bueno** (1:49)
It's true. Ask anybody, say the dinosaurs. But there's another dinosaur who really delivers.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:57)
Oh, meet Pizzasaurus.

**Lisa Bueno** (2:02)
Pizzasaurus does not dine on random critters or shrubs or random critters in shrubs.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:09)
He only eats one thing.

**Lisa Bueno** (2:12)
Any guesses?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:14)
Yeah, that's right, pizza.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:16)
And he says, I love pizza.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:20)
Pizza?

**Lisa Bueno** (2:22)
Has that even been invented yet?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Ask the other dinosaurs.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:27)
Good point. Pizzasaurus loves pizza so much, he sings songs about it.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:32)
For it is only good pizza.

**Lisa Bueno** (2:36)
He loves pizza so much, he dreams about it.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:40)
In the picture, we can see him in bed, drooling on his pillow as he thinks, pizza.

**Lisa Bueno** (2:46)
He loves pizza so much, he creates tasteful, still life paintings about it.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:54)
It's a master pizza.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:00)
In the picture, we can see he's drawn it.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:03)
He says, it does look really nice. Yes, pizza source is supremely special.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:10)
They're special too, say the Velociraptors.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:15)
Seriously, I'm practically a prehistoric unicorn, says the Triceratops.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:21)
In fact, all the other dinosaurs are pretty annoyed.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:24)
I can wear 96 scarves at the same time, Brachiosaurus says.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:31)
I have a built-in hat rack.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:33)
I mean, they're all, Stegosaurus has opinions too.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:37)
Pizzasaurus does not live in a swamp or a lagoon or any of those other dinosaur places.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:45)
He lives in a hut.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:48)
Feel that toasty air.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:51)
Inhale that enticing aroma.

**Lisa Bueno** (3:54)
Have you ever seen this much pizza pizazz?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:57)
I think not.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:00)
It's my own pizza paradise, he says.

**Lisa Bueno** (4:03)
And we can see inside of his house, his decorations in his home are all pizza themed.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:08)
It's beautiful, isn't it?

**Lisa Bueno** (4:12)
Pizzasaurus is a big fan of pizza toppings.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:15)
I like cheese and sauce and pepperoni and olives and cheese and mushrooms and pineapple and cheese anchovies and peppers and oh, I almost forgot. I also like cheese.

**Lisa Bueno** (4:27)
This clump of grass is also yummy, says the Stegosaurus chomping on some grass.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:33)
Well, if you say so, says the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who is not at all interested in the grass.

**Lisa Bueno** (4:41)
Most dinosaurs spend their time stomping and roaring and practicing their scary faces, but Pizzasaurus has other stuff on his plate. Any guesses?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:52)
That's right.

**Lisa Bueno** (4:54)
Pizza.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:54)
He makes pizza.

**SPEAKER_10** (4:56)
He bakes pizza.

**SPEAKER_8** (4:57)
He orders leaning towers of pizza.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:00)
Any way you slice it, one thing is clear.

**SPEAKER_9** (5:04)
I love pizza.

**Lisa Bueno** (5:06)
He says, Lena, we love stuff too.
Super cool stuff, say the other dinosaurs. Like this rock.

**SPEAKER_8** (5:14)
Yeah, it's so rocky.

**Lisa Bueno** (5:18)
Sure. Now, let's get back to Pizzasaurus.

**SPEAKER_7** (5:21)
Pizzasaurus is...

**Lisa Bueno** (5:24)
Oh dear. Has anyone seen Pizzasaurus? He was just here a minute ago.

**SPEAKER_7** (5:32)
Wait.

**SPEAKER_5** (5:34)
Did somebody chomp him?

**SPEAKER_10** (5:37)
Hey, don't everybody look at me, says Tyrannosaurus Rex.

**SPEAKER_1** (5:44)
