Stomp, Chomp & Learn with Ollie

The very first Cretaceous Creek Elementary Talent Show is coming, and Ollie's friends each know exactly what they'll do. Dash will run, Spike will balance berries on his back plates, Bree will sing, and Penny will play music with her crest. But Ollie can't find his talent. Singing sounds like rocks in a tin can. Dancing wakes the family of Compsognathus living under the porch. Juggling cycad fruits ends with one bouncing right off his horn and another straight to his eye. It takes a quiet word from Tank, the Ankylosaurus of few words but the right ones, for Ollie to discover the talent he's had all along. He has a knack for making other people shine. Stick around for Ollie's Dinosaur Fact about why the Triceratops frill might have been more than just a shield.

It's Ollie's birthday, and everything is going wrong! The fern-berry cake comes out as flat as a pancake after Mama Trix accidentally sets a pot on it, a gust of wind sends Papa Trix's vine-streamers sailing into Mr. Anky's yard, and when noon arrives… none of Ollie's friends show up. Just as Ollie is starting to believe his birthday is ruined, Dash races over with news of an "emergency" at Cretaceous Creek Elementary. What Ollie discovers in the Great Hall is a reminder that the best surprises come from the dinosaurs who love you most. Stick around for Ollie's Dinosaur Fact about growth rings, baby T-Rex weight gain, and how long Apatosaurus could live!

In Episode 6, “The New Kid,” Ollie welcomes a new neighbor and classmate: a shy Parasaurolophus named Penny. Moving from the Valley of Echoes to Fern Lane is a big change, and Penny finds herself feeling lonely and overwhelmed at her new school. Remembering his own nervous first day, Ollie steps up to show her the ropes, offering a seat at lunch and introducing her to his circle of friends. The week culminates in a special welcome celebration where Penny reveals the magical secret of her beautiful crest, teaching everyone that while starting over is hard, a little kindness and empathy can make any place feel like home.

A dark, "I-mean-business" gray sky settles over the fern forest, and young Triceratops Ollie soon finds himself caught in a powerful prehistoric thunderstorm. While safe at home with Mama and Papa Trix, Ollie notices that their kind neighbor, the elderly Ankylosaurus Mr. Anky, is in trouble: a massive branch has trapped him inside his home! Join Ollie and Papa Trix as they brave the howling winds and crashing thunder to help a friend in need. This heartwarming tale for kids ages 3–9 explores the importance of being a good neighbor and features a special dinosaur fact about how warm the Earth was millions of years ago.Read by: Bennett Run time: ~20 minutes

When the school art show poster goes up, Ollie the Triceratops is determined to create a masterpiece, but every attempt ends in a "beautiful mess." From a rainbow-colored paint splatter to a squashed clay sculpture, Ollie’s "enthusiastic" efforts leave him feeling clumsy and discouraged. However, with some encouragement from his friends, Ollie realizes that his unique way of moving through the world is exactly what his art needs. By using his whole body as a paintbrush, he creates a giant, joyful explosion of color that teaches everyone at Cretaceous Creek Elementary that the best masterpieces are the ones that show exactly who made them.

Ollie is eager to help his Grandpa Gus plant a new section of his legendary prehistoric garden. However, Ollie’s "enthusiastic horns" lead to a soggy disaster when he accidentally breaks a water valve, flooding the entire yard and burying the new plants in mud. Through the squishy mishap, Grandpa Gus teaches Ollie a gentle lesson about resilience, explaining that like a garden, the most important part of ourselves is the roots that hold tight and help us grow back even after a mess.

After a massive thunderstorm leaves the playground at Cretaceous Creek Elementary covered in mud, Ollie and his friends discover a trail of enormous, mysterious footprints. Fearing a "super giant monster" might be lurking behind the supply shed, the Detective Club follows clues like squashed leaves and bumped swings to uncover the truth. They soon realize the "monster" is actually Mr. Bronto, the kind new school janitor, and the friends team up to help him build a brand-new playground for everyone to enjoy.
