Harry and the Dinosaurs Go to School

This is a Fantasy children book that is about a small boy named Harry getting ready for his first day of school. He brings his bucket of dinosaurs to school with him for security. Harry is nervous at first on his teachers reaction to the dinosaurs, but they eventually help break the ice in the class room

Ian Whybrow has a large collection of "Harry" books. The Dinosaurs are featured in several of them: "Harry and the Bucket of Dinosaurs" and "Harry and the Dinosaurs have a Happy Birthday" are a few. Whybrow's works were first published in 1989. He has over 100 children's books in over 27 different languages. Ian even illustrates. Personally I feel the books I have read by Ian Whybrow are great for kids. They are easy for the kids to read with enough challenge and the illustrations help my two grade level kids figure out the tough words.

This book was illustrated by Adrian Reynolds. Adrian Reynolds has collaborated with Ian Whybrow to create a collection of books about Harry and his dinosaurs.
