Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Here Comes Harry with His Bucketful/Dino
Ian Whybrow · 2006
70/100
👍 Worth It
Harry and the Dinosaurs is a proven franchise with genuine BAFTA-winning pedigree, and the rhyming text and real dinosaur names make this a joyful read-aloud even in its stripped-down World Book Day format. Families who already own the core series books will find it thin on new story, but for a first encounter with Harry it's a warm, literacy-friendly entry point.
