Great book!

This book and the series of books has been a favorite in our house for a few years now. This is my favorite of the series, it explains how Harry becomes friends with his dinosaurs and it is a really sweet story. My son carried around a bucketful of plastic dinosaurs for about a year, and he slept with them and bathes them just like in the book. The hardcover copy makes a great gift too :)

Great book!

This book is about a little boy who finds a box full of old toy dinosaurs in the attic. He carefully fixes and cleans them, puts them in a bucket, and then carries them with him wherever he goes. He knows all of their names, and he is the only one who knows that they have their own personalities. When he leaves them on a train one day, his nan tries to replace them with a video, but that won't do. He and his mother eventually find them in the lost property office at the train station, and he gets them back when he names them all. My son just got this book as a present for his 4th birthday. He absolutely loves it and asks me to read it every day. He relates to Harry better than any other character he's read about so far, because he carries around a bucketful of cars with him wherever he goes. After we read the part where Harry's dinosaurs tell him he is definitely their Harry, he told me, "Mommy, my cars tell me the same thing." Harry is a character any little one who loves a toy can relate to.

Love the book!

I bought this for my 2 year old and he loves the book! We enjoy sitting down and reading all about Harry and his dinosaurs. We even have our own bucket of plastic dinosaurs that my son now carries around - just like Harry.

We love Harry!

We checked this book at from the library awhile ago and read it about one million times before we had to return it! My 3 1/2 year old son loves Harry! We have read all the books and we just discovered the new TV series based on the books. They o a great job of introducing dinosaurs to small kids in a friendly, non-threatening way, I hope they keep coming!

Great book!

My son (just turned 2) refused to leave school without this book. We've had it now for a week and I've read it to him now approx 1.8 billion times, and I now have to return the book, so I'm getting his own copy. I don't know if this is a boy thing or just a kid thing, but he is absolutly fascinated by dinosaurs now and can even point out where tyrannosaurus is or stegmalopohopanopalisaurus (he actually knows the names better than I do). The book itself is not any kind of dino expert book, its just a very simple sweet storry about a boy and his toy dinos, but somehow it really struck a chord with my son.
