There is an animation I saw as a kid in the early 90's that I’ve been trying to find out what it was called and hoping that it exist somewhere.
It was about a planet (I think) where dinosaurs lived. There is one particular dinosaur whose job it is to take care of the eggs as they appear in this garden like area. The narrator goes on to say that the eggs were soon to hatch and the aforementioned dinosaur has the responsibility to set up for a party for the eggs once they hatched, a welcome to the world so to speak.
So the dinosaur goes off to set up for the party and decorates with balloons and everything, but when he comes back to the eggs one is missing and he has to set out and find it as the other eggs are getting ready to hatch and he wants them to all hatch together. Don't remember how he finds it, but he brings it back and all the eggs hatch at the same time and they all celebrate together.
The reason why want to identify this animation is because I always remember having this calming feeling come over me as I watched this because of the music and the visuals had a calming resonance to it. As I said I watched it in the early 90's (92-93-ish) but could have been a little older than that. I remember watching it on a weekend morning on HBO. It might be possible that it was based on a children's book. There were no other voices other than the narrator’s that I can remember.
Thanks for anyone who can dig up anything of this animation.

I don't remember an exact year but I believe I was around 8 at the time so that was about 1992 or so. I remember the dinosaurs did not talk just a narrator spoke. It was 2D animation.

The main dinosaur was really generic and I don't think it was based on any specific dinosaur. I remember that it was a standard green color and had a very round head (similar to the shape of the letter "P") and had a short body.
Was it maybe this? Plot doesn't really seem to match up, but I felt like I should post it after reading your description of the dinosaur (green with a "P" shaped head):

I'm not sure what it is, but the characters do seem like the ones from the show that I saw, but the story is as I mentioned about a dinosaur who looks after eggs and has to find one that is missing. The funny thing is I found the HBO episode on Youtube and I do remember this as well.
I couldn't find anything by that author of the books or the illustrator worked on that is similar to what I'm trying to find. I don't know if what I'm thinking of is this It Zwibble, or if its something similar to it...but I feel that is something similar but not what I'm looking for.
