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.
It was later adapted into a 52-episode animated television series of the same name, which premiered on Cartoon Network's Tickle-U block in the United States on August 22, 2005, and on Teletoon/Télétoon in Canada on August 29, 2005. The show is also in Flanders on Ketnet, in the UK on Channel 5 and Playhouse Disney, in Asia on Playhouse Disney Asia, in Latin America on Discovery Kids, in Germany on Super RTL, in Australia on Nick Jr. (in British voices) and in Sweden on Barnkanalen. 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.
