Jack jumped behind the magnolia tree.His heart was beating so fast he could hardly think.H
e peeked out at the giant monster. The horrible-looking creature was opening and closing h
is huge jaws. His teeth were as big as steak knives.Don’t panic. Think.Jack peered down at
the valley.Good. The duck-billed dinosaurs were sticking close to their nests.Jack looked
back at the Tyrannosaurus.Good. The monster still didn’t seem to know he was there.Don’t
panic. Think. Think. Maybe there's information in the book.Jack opened the dinosaur book.
He found Tyrannosaurus rex. He read:Tyrannosaurus rex was the largest meat-eating land ani
mal of all time. If it were alive today, it would eat a human in one bite. Great. The book
was no help at all.Okay. He couldn't hide on the other side of the hill. The Anatosauruse
s might stampede.Okay. He couldn't run to the tree house. The Tyrannosaurus might run fast
er.Okay. Maybe he should just wait. Wait for the monster to leave.Jack peeked around the t
ree.The Tyrannosaurus had wandered closer to the hill.Something caught Jack’s eye. Annie w
as coming down the rope ladder!Was she nuts? What was she doing?Jack watched Annie hop off
the ladder.She went straight to the Pteranodon. She was talking to him. She was flapping
her arms. She pointed at Jack, at the sky, at the tree house.She was nuts!"Go! Go back up
the tree!" Jack whispered. "Go!"Suddenly Jack heard a roar.The Tyrannosaurus rex was looki
ng in his direction.Jack hit the ground.The Tyrannosaurus rex was coming toward the hill.J
ack felt the ground shaking.Should he run? Crawl back into Dinosaur Valley? Climb the magn
olia tree?Just then a giant shadow covered Jack. He looked up.The Pteranodon was gliding o
verhead. The giant creature sailed down toward the top of the hill.He was coming straight
for Jack.
