Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs (Harry and the Dinosaurs)

Product Information

Harry and his friend Charley play a game of superheroes together. Afterwards when Charley invites Harry to a dance party, he declines, saying "Superheroes are way too busy fighting crime, and saving the planet to dance". The dinos lead Harry on an adventure in Dino World that will prove to him that Superheroes and dancing can be a great fun! A difference is that the book series includes an Anchisaurus as one of Harry's dinosaurs while the TV series, for unknown reasons, does not. Recently, it was announced that the show would have a series of apps for the iOS and Android platform and will include some interactive elements. [3]

Harry fails to see any benefit in rain when a visit to the beach is rained off.

When Harry is told to tidy his room, he simply transfers all the mess into Dino-world, where he is told there is a 'no tidying up rule'. This results in chaos in Dino-World and Pterence ends up getting lost in all the junk, prompting Harry to tidy Dino-World - and his bedroom. At home, Harry is pretending to be a Super Hero, but his efforts to help his family only cause more problems, so he goes to Dino-World where he can be a real Super Hero thanks to the super-hero qualities displayed by each of his dinos! When he finds his Mom's missing car keys Harry becomes a true Super Hero in her eyes. Harry and the Dinos form a marching band and take a trip to Dino World to perform in the National Dino Day parade. Outfitted with musical instruments and uniforms, they set about getting ready for the parade. The only problem is that they seem to be having some trouble playing their instruments. And marching in time. And their music is a little, well, loud. Just as Harry and the Dinos are wondering how you have a parade without making any noise, a big dino-shaped balloon comes to their rescue...!

It's Harry's first day at school. He and his dinosaurs are very excited and perhaps a little bit nervous. But when Harry's dinosaur friends don't join him in the classroom, Harry's not so sure he's going to like school, but the dinosaurs come to the rescue, and Harry and his new friend learn just how much fun school can really be. Harry is reluctant to have a bath so he goes to Dino-World where he endeavours to become as dirty and stinky as he possibly can. He becomes so repulsively filthy that even the dinosaurs don't want to play with him and he is even crowned King of the Swamp. However, when faced with losing his hair as a result of his uncleanness, Harry decides a bath would actually be quite nice after all. Charley is having a sleepover and has invited Harry, however, Charley's Mom says he is only allowed to bring one of the dinos with him. Harry finds is very difficult to choose so as a final solution, Harry invites Charley to a sleepover at his house instead - problem solved!It's snowing and some of Harry's neighbours are moving house. Harry and Charley love the idea of being removals' men and, along with the Dinos, decide to go to Dino World to see if anyone needs the assistance of Harry's Moving Crew. They arrive just in time to help Mr Snow who is moving down the hill to a brand new igloo. Mr Snow's mischievous penguin friends also lend a hand to ensure the move goes as smoothly as possible...! Harry isn't allowed to join Sam's band because he's not very good at playing the drums. He goes to dino-world where he and the dinos gather together to play various percussion instruments. Pterence leaves the group because he can't keep time so he goes off to a cave by himself. He learns to play some great rhythms based on the sounds of nature around him. Harry and the dinos miss Pterence and go to find him, they are very impressed by what he has learned. Harry wants to sleep out in his new tent in the garden so that he can practice his scout skills. He looks out of the window and it is pouring with rain, but there's no room to put up his tent in his bedroom. If Harry can't camp in the garden for real, there's only one other place he can practice his scout skills.

Children can play a variety of games including snap, pairs, guess who and create a story. Plus, when space allows, your child can turn over the cards and build a large floor puzzle. Charley wants to go to the circus but her Mom is unable to take her. As a solution, Harry and the dinos create a make-believe circus in Harry's garden for Charley. Trouble is, next-door's cat isn't a very realistic lion, so the gang head to Dino World to join a real circus! Harry's robot has to go to the robot hospital to get fixed. So Nan and Harry decide to make their own robot while he's being mended. Then when Nan has to go to the hospital (to get mended as well), Harry knows exactly what to do to help her get better. Harry accidentally smashes his mom's favourite china teacup. Harry, Charley, and the Dinos are unable to fix it themselves so they take it to Dino-World to try to repair it. Unable to do so, Harry is forced to admit to his mom that he has broken it. As a thoughtful gesture, Harry replaces the cup with a homemade cup. Whilst playing in the yard with Charley, Harry insists on being first on the swing, and then manages to destroy her sandcastle by being boisterous in the sandbox. Charley goes home annoyed, so Nana gives Harry a book on King Arthur and his Knights so that he can learn about good manners. But after reading the book, Harry is more interested in knightly activities like jousting and battling with Dragons, than chivalry and kindness, so he goes to Dino World to play at being a knight. When Harry is imprisoned by a selfish Dragon, he learns that good manners are very important.Harry has a nightmare in which he is chased by a monster, so he goes to Dino-World in an attempt to hide from it. But because the monster is created by Harry's imagination it materializes in Dino-World and terrorizes Harry and the dinos until Harry imagines the monster as harmless and friendly.

Harry wishes he could help out more with the decorating and so goes to Dino World to see if he can practice his skills there. Whilst in Dino World the gang bump into their dino friend, Nancy the Nanosaurus whom somehow seems to attract more than her fair share of Calamity. However, as they all work together as a team, with a little trial and error and a flood of orange soda, Harry and his friends manage to successfully transform Dino World.
