History Literature / HarryAndHisBucketFullOfDinosaurs

In 2011, Ian Whybrow brought back Harry and his dinosaurs with a series of junior chapter books, in which a now school-aged Harry is reunited with the original six toy dinosaurs after having stopped playing with them when he started to feel he was too old for them. This time however, Harry also has a set of plastic dinosaur cards on his key ring that he can use to summon additional dinosaurs to help him and his friends. Whybrow even published a 15th entry to the original series in 2012 to celebrate the return and rebirth of the series.

* LongTitle: Averted. Many episode names are just one word or is just a phrase.

In 2005, the books were adapted by the Canadian television company CCI Entertainment as a 52-episode animated PreschoolShow that originally aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada, Creator/Channel5 in the UK, and Creator/CartoonNetwork's ill-fated Tickle U block in the United States. In this AnimatedAdaptation, Harry's bucket functions as a portal to [[AnotherDimension another universe]] called [=DinoWorld=], which Harry can enter by jumping into the bucket. There, his toy dinosaurs become real dinosaurs he goes on various adventures with. Another notable difference between the books and the cartoon is that the dinosaurs are now given proper names rather than simply being referred to by their species. The cartoon ended in 2008, but reruns continued on Creator/TreehouseTV in Canada (where the show was moved to for its second season) and on Creator/{{Qubo}} in the US. As of 2022, the series is available in the United States for streaming on Creator/{{Peacock}}, including the second season, which had never been previously available in the U.S.

* WidgetSeries: Whoever directed all the episodes of this show, they must've had ''really'' fun with it.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Patsy, the only female of the dinosaur group, is pink.

** Every time Harry's mom comes home. "1...2...3...Jump!" (his mom)

%%* NotNowKiddo: Harry gets this sometimes especially in "Nobody is Listening To Me!"

* StockDinosaurs: Taury the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Patsy the ''Apatosaurus'', Steggy the ''Stegosaurus'', Trike the ''Triceratops'', and Pterrance the ''Pterodactylus'' (called pterodactyl in the show). Averted with Sid, who's a ''Scelidosaurus''.
