## Plot

Shaggy is outside, drawing on a sheet of paper. He says hi to the viewers and explains that he's just finished writing a storybook. He calls for Velma, Fred, Daphne, and Scooby, who come to see his book. Fred asks Shaggy what the story is about, and Shaggy offers to read it out loud. He calls the book "The Lost Velmasaurus", and the main character is a dinosaur version of Velma. Velma gets really excited and asks him to start reading.

The next scene is set in the world of Shaggy's book. It shows Velmasaurus, who is stuck in some vines in a prehistoric forest. Shaggy narrates as Velmasaurus meets another dinosaur named Shaggy-Rex, who helps her move through the vines by eating them. Velmasaurus tells Shaggy-Rex that she lives in a red house with her Dog, Scoobysaurus. She's lost and can't find her house.

Shaggy-Rex offers to help bring her home. As they walk, Velmasaurus spots a white fence that she recognizes. She tells Shaggy-Rex that it's the same fence that leads to her house. The two friends sing as they follow the fence. The scene cuts back to Shaggy, his Dog Scooby, Daphne, and Fred reading the book. Velma has a lot of questions for Shaggy about how Velmasaurus will get home, but they'll spoil the ending. Daphne asks Shaggy to keep reading.

The next scene shows the dinosaurs again. They come across a big boulder that stands between them and Velmasaurus's house. They each try to push it out of the way by themselves, but it doesn't budge. Velmasaurus gets desperate and starts to worry. She thinks that she'll never get home and will have to live with the rock forever.

Luckily, a third dinosaur named Dino-Fred comes by and offers to help. He says he's super strong and tries to push the rock by himself. When this doesn't work, he picks several leaves off the ground and eats them. Shaggy-Rex questions him, and he explains that he needs "more protein". He tries pushing the rock again, but it still does nothing. Velmasaurus asks the other dinosaurs to push the boulder at the same time.

The idea works, and Velmasaurus soon finds her house. Her Dog, Scobbysaurus With Daphnesaurus, is waiting for her there. He greets her and her new friends. They tell Scoobysaurus what happened, and he figures that they all must be hungry. He gives them a bowl of brownies, which he calls "dino-snacks". Shaggy finishes narrating the story and his Gang Reacts. Oobi decides to give his book to Uma as a present. She thanks him and hugs him as the episode ends.
