Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs

When Harry has a bad dream, he tries to hide from it in Dino World.

Harry's dinosaur book is due at the library, but Harry does not want to bring it back. He decides to hide it in Dino World.

Harry is outside, playing in a mud puddle and getting really dirty. His Nana tells him it's time to take a bath, but he says he doesn't like baths because the soap gets in his eyes. Nana recommends a solution for this, but Harry decides he still doesn't want to take a bath and makes a break for it. He and the dinosaurs go to Dino World, where Harry decides to do his best to become the dirtiest, stinkest boy ever. The dinosaurs recommend he play in primordial ooze, but it isn't nearly stinky enough for him. He and the dinosaurs go on a safari through the stinkiest areas of Dino World, but when Harry wants to visit Stinky Swamp, the dinosaurs bail out. Then, Harry meets someone at Stinky Swamp who begins to change his opinion.

Charlie brings a new kitty named Buster over to Harry's house. Harry thinks the new kitty is very cute and small and Nana suggests that they take the kitty out to the backyard. There, Harry's dinosaurs spot the kitty and believe it to be some kind of new toy, or a new dinosaur. Then, the kitty scares them all and the lot of them end up in Dino World. Harry heads to Dino World to search for Buster, while Charlie waits in case Buster comes back. Harry convinces the dinosaurs that Buster is a nice kitty and they all go on a safari to get him back. They face obstacles including think jungle and the legendary Soda Fountain Valley.

It seems like everyone belongs to some sort of club or group except Harry. His Mom's in a jogging club, Charlie attends karate lessons and his sister and her friends have a band. Harry and the dinosaurs decide to create their own club, but can't decide on what to do. They try several ideas, but nothing seems to work out.

Harry is looking for his building blocks, but can't seem to find them anywhere in his room. His Mom says that his room is a mess and that she's going out to the grocery store, but she wants to see it neat and tidy by the time she comes back. Harry doesn't like this idea at all, but he loves it when Taury tells him that there's a no-cleaning rule in Dino World. He just made that rule up and so Harry and the dinosaurs test it out. They soon create a colossal mess and then Harry decides to dump the stuff from his room in Dino World. Patsy warns that it will all end in tears, but Harry goes ahead with the plan anyway. Pretty soon, Dino World has turned into garbage world --- it's a garbage emergency!

Stuck indoors watching a storm from his bedroom window, Harry wonders what exactly causes thunder and lightening to happen, and decides to visit Dino World to find out. Harry and the dinos encounter some mischievous characters, Mr Thunder and Mrs Lightning, who despite Harry’s desperate attempts to calm them down, just seem to enjoy making noise too much. The gang decide that since they can’t beat them, then they may as well join them. Harry and the dinos win the battle of the noise and return triumphantly home to eat Nana’s cookies.

Harry needs a green crayon to illustrate his story about a naughty Troll, but he finds Sam unwilling to share her art supplies with him. He goes to Dino World to see if he can track down the materials there, but instead stumbles across the same naughty Troll from his story. The Troll will not let him cross the stream without a magic password, just like in his project. After many unsuccessful guesses Harry realises that a simple “please” goes a long way.

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!

Harry really wants to eat the strawberries growing in the garden but Mom warns him that they will not be ripe for another week. Imagining that someone may beat him to eating them, Harry dreams up a character called the ‘Great Strawberry Nibbler’. When Harry and his dino gang go to taste the strawberries in Dino World, they find that a greedy creature has been eating all the strawberries. It is the work of the ‘Great Strawberry Nibbler’. After many failed efforts, they finally manage to trap the culprit and banish him from Dino World. Harry then has a change of heart, and decides to bring back the Nibbler to share the last strawberry with him, realising that sharing is much more fun than greediness.

When Harry loses his helium balloon he wishes that he had the ability to fly. Curious that this may actually be a possibility in Dino World, Harry and dinos go off to find out. However, flying doesn’t turn out to be so simple in Dino World as everyone learns the hard way. Mad cap balloon adventures get a little tricky, as poor Steggy nearly disappears off into the sky. Harry and Pterence heroically rescue their unfortunate friend, and Harry gets to experience what it’s like to fly in the process.

Whilst Nana and Harry are dog sitting for an afternoon, Harry decides to take the puppy for a walk in Dino World. However, in Dino World the puppy is dino sized and Harry and the gang have a challenge trying to discipline and train their fury friend in some tug of war styled capers. They attempt to teach the puppy tricks, and even give him a bath. They all have fun, but realise what a responsibility a puppy can be.
