Striped Dinosaur Watching a Hatchling Crack Its Egg

A big dinosaur with a long curved tail and stripes along its back stands in a prehistoric scene, looking over at a baby dinosaur peeking out of a cracked egg. The baby still has a piece of eggshell on its head and a cheerful open-mouthed smile. Around them are palm trees with leafy fronds, small tufts of grass, puffy clouds and wavy hills in the background. The picture is drawn sideways, so turn the page to landscape when you print it. Try coloring the stripes in two alternating shades on the grown-up and a lighter version of the same colors on the baby, so kids can see which dinosaur belongs to which. It also works well for a short talk about how dinosaurs hatched from eggs.
