Dinosaurs or the Cretaceous Period (8MB)
Book One: Timmy Diplodocus
Nathan goes through the door to the Jurassic, where he finds a hot world with open planes. He meets a talking dinosaur named Timmy, who is a Diplodocus. They play hide-and-seek until two hungry, meat-eating Allosaurus ask to join in. Nathan has to be brave, and while the Allosaurus are counting, he and Timmy manage to run back to the safety of the Diplodocus herd.
Book Two: Gilly Giganotosaurus
Nathan goes through the door to the Cretaceous, where he meets a sleeping dinosaur called Gilly. She is a giganotosaurus, a meat-eating dinosaur, but Nathan isn't afraid. When she goes back to sleep, he begins to explore until Velociraptor surrounds him. Gilly saves him because he is the only person who has stopped to talk to her in a long time without being afraid.
Book Three: Steve Thecodontosaurus
Nathan goes through the door to the Triassic. Here, the world is a hot desert. He looks for the dinosaur on the door but finds a pair of Dicynodonts. They guide him to the watering hole, where he finds an ancient crocodile called Postosuchus. Finally, he meets Steve the Thecodontosaurus, and they party in the cool of the night before Nathan returns home. The Dicynodonts help him find his way back to the doorway home.
