Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs
Encyclopedia
Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs is a series of children's books written and drawn by Ian Whybrow
and Adrian Reynolds. The series is about a 5-year-old boy named Harry, who has a bucket full of dinosaurs. In the books the dinosaurs talk to Harry but seem to be toys to the other characters. The other main characters are Mum, Nan, Harry's best friend Charlie, and Harry's sister Sam.
In the TV series Harry plays with the dinosaurs by jumping into the bucket, which transports him to another world, called DinoWorld. Although the dinosaurs are toy-sized in the real world, within DinoWorld they become dinosaur-sized, while Harry retains his actual size. The TV episodes are available on DVD in two volumes.
Recently, it was announced that the show will have a series of apps for the iOS
and Android platform and will include some interactive elements. Disney Junior
in the US is currently interested in picking up the show into its 24/7 channel lineup in February 2012.
