Leap And The Lost Dinosaur

[MaastrichtianGuy]

Alright so sorry i have not been active in this forum again lately despite that i am back in those forums again after some years, my life was not the same and i have been acting strange but a little weird for some months but not completely all thanks to that one popular video game that has made me like this or that which it will be WOW or World Of Warcraft but i have finally quit the game for good on Christmas Eve and in the beginning of this year which it will be 2025 now my account that is needed for the game has finally been deleted so i won't have to worry about that game anymore so as of now i am in the process of getting my life back on track and turning my life around completely so got to do what i need to do to get myself busy again while i am still in the progress for me to become better again so my first thing and topic that i am going to post here is that there is this one book that i used to enjoy in my childhood and it was made for the Leap Pad system made by Leapfrog and one of their titles made for it will be Leap And The Lost Dinosaur, it is this title of that book right there where Leap has found a bone of some species of dinosaur that it needs identifying by taking it to Professor Quigley's laboratory to examine it and it turns out to be a baby Hypacrosaurus named Zoey which she needs to be taken back to her own time period by going through all the 3 time periods around the Mesozoic era using Quigley's time machine to be taken back to her family so here is the book.



The title and back cover of the book and the page of how to use and read the book.

Here is the title page of the book where Leap has a found a bone yet to belong to which kind of dinosaur with his little brother Tad playing with his dinosaur figures with a book about dinosaurs being laid on the trunk of a tree.



Here is the part where Leap shows the bone to Professor Quigley in his lab where it is decorated with anything that relates to nothing but anything to do with dinosaurs and other prehistoric life which he gives the bone to him to put it into his Reconstitutor machine to which dinosaur it belongs to which the bone Leap has just found has turned into a real life dinosaur but it will be a baby Hypacrosaurus which Leap names her Zoey with him asking him if they can keep her and Quigley says we can't since she does not belong into the modern day world and needs to be taken back to her own time with the both of them including her getting inside into his time machine and start the time travel which the other page shows fossils of species from all different time periods right straight into the present time which a radio and some boxer underwear can be seen in the after the dinosaurs layer of the page but something went really wrong when they are trying to take her back to her own time.

So with instead of them being time traveled to Zoey's time they time traveled to the Triassic period where Zoey sees the 2 mammals for the first time which happens to look like rats but they also see some prosauropods, a Placerias, some Coelophysis, a Postosuchus and other early reptiles which includes some insects we see today dragonflies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, grasshoppers and other insects and life forms we also see today.


After the Triassic they traveled to the Jurassic period with Quigley's time machine being transformed into a raft boat where they get to see some sauropods like for example some Brachiosauruses, an Ornitholestes, a Rhamphorhynchus, a Stegosaurus fighting off an Allosaurus and some Compsognathuses with a size scale which includes a giraffe, a human being, a Microraptor, a T-Rex, a Brachiosaurus itself and one of the largest sauropods they have ever discovered which is an Argentinosaurus and also a hawk being displayed for a game about feathered dinosaurs.




And at last they have time traveled to the Cretaceous period which is Zoey's time period with Professor's time machine being turned back into it's normal look to find her parents and given back to them but on the way they some Pachycephalosauruses, Euoplocephaluses, some ceratopsians, an Ornithomimus and some hadrosaurs until Quigley stepped and stomped on a tail of yet another dinosaur by accident or by mistake which it turns out to be an angry and mad T-Rex which is why they have to run into that cave to escape from the wrath released dinosaur which has his head bumped into it since he cannot fit inside the cave which Leap, Zoey and the Professor has gone inside through the tunnel which also has a Velociraptor, a Tupandactylus and an Altirhinus being seen with their skulls that is made for a game that are on the layers of the cave's tunnel and after they got out of the cave they have finally found Zoey's family and has taken her back to them except they are some Troodons or Stenonychosauruses stealing a few of the eggs belonging to one of the Hypacrosauruses and the both of them went back to their own time.

And then in the next week in the end Leap's family is in a museum in Alphaville where they get to see some dinosaurs as they are as of today like as fossils, skeletons and on paintings and things like that with the 2 mammals being dressed as cowboys instead.

By the end of the story there is this section of the book where there is a game that can be played which it will be the Dinosaur Jungle section the only the thing that the game can be played is with all 16 cards used for it which can be used to get information on 15 types of dinosaurs or to be used for the game so here are the 15 cards on all 15 kinds in them including a 16th card which is a wild card that can be used for it.

Hi M @MaastrichtianGuy, welcome back. Although I found it a little confusing what you wrote, I am happy you found back to the forum! It seems to me like a computer game has been occupying your "processor", making it hard to find a way out. We know of the highly addictive potential of WOW, a game which makes it hard to cope with the "real" world once you are into it. It gives one satisfaction that costs nothing, satisfaction that can easily be achieved 24/7 -  as it slowly but surely degenerates the rest of one´s life. But I don´t want to act morally at all.

What a neat little story that book contains! Lovely
