Summary

ON A VISIT to Mr. Oakley's farm, Harry and the Dinosaurs meet a bunch of little ducklings and decide that a pet duckling would be the perfect thing to ask for for Christmas. As the holidays approach, the excitement builds as to whether or not there will be a new pet on Christmas morning. And sure enough, there is a new pet . . . but it isn't a duckling! Praise forHarry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs: "Humorous illustrations show the dinosaurs coming to life for Harry in this charming story."--Publishers Weekly

School Library Journal Review

PreS-After seeing some baby ducks on a farm, Harry and his bucketful of tiny, live dinosaurs (well, live to Harry anyway) wish for a duckling for Christmas, but they are enthralled by the baby Pterodactyl they receive instead. The story is very slim, and the cartoon creatures are rounded and cute almost to the point of unrecognizability, but very young dinophiles will probably like it anyway.-E. M. (c) Copyright 2010.

Publisher's Weekly Review

In Harry and the Dinosaurs Make a Christmas Wish by Ian Whybrow, illus. by Adrian Reynolds, the boy and his bucket of dinos wish for one of Mr. Oakley's baby ducklings. Harry finds many other toys he wants for Christmas too, but a present inside an egg under the tree shows that wishes do come true-even if not as expected. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
