Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs
by Ian Whybrow, Illustrated by Adrian Reynolds
While cleaning the
attic with his grandmother, Harry finds a dusty, old box of
dinosaurs. Instantly enthralled, he cleans each dinosaur and
puts them where they will be happiest - in a bucket. Harry loves
his dinosaurs and takes them to the library, where he learns
each of their names. Afterwards, the dinosaurs go everywhere
he does. But then one day after an exciting train ride, Harry
accidentally leaves them behind. Sad and lonely, Harry must
get his dinosaurs back, because to him they are more than just
toys, they're his friends.
From the book while Harry was at the library:
He
found out all the names in a book and told them to the
dinosaurs
He whispered to each one:
"You are my Scelidosaurus."
"You are my Stegosaurus."
"You are my Triceratops."
And there were enough names for all of the dinosaurs:
the Apatosaurus, the Anchisaurus, and the Tyrannosaurus.
The dinosaurs said, "Thank you, Harry."
They said it very quietly,
but just loud enough for Harry to hear.
Harry
and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs is the first in a
series of books about Harry. With charming illustrations
and a whimsical text, young readers will easily relate to
Harry and will fall in love with him and his little dinosaur
friends. Coming soon is Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs
say RAAAH!!!
