(Alternative title: Sammy and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs)

4 stars

An adorably sweet tale of a boy and his dinosaurs. After loving the TV adaptation, I was excited to go back and read the original stories that inspired it. This book did not disappoint.

The first book introduces the reader to Harry and how he found the dinosaurs that he’d soon cart around in the book.

I loved the way the illustrations and narration played off each other. They really captured the magical relationship between the dinosaurs and their Harry. Such a cute story.

Also endpapers are lovely and provide the pronunciations of the dinosaurs featured.

A nice introduction to the characters. Definitely will be reading some of the other books to see what adventures they have together.
