Harry's dinosaurs are acting strangely. They're hiding all over the house and refusing to come out. Could it be because today's the day of Harry's dentist appointment? Eventually Harry persuades them to jump in their bucket, but will the dinosaurs behave once they get to the dentist?
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1--Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs are back for another adventure. The child is only a little scared about going to see the dentist, but his toys are all hiding. Once there, Harry is hesitant to hop up on the big chair, so Dr. Drake suggests that one of the dinosaurs takes a ride on it first. When Tyrannosaurus is seated, Harry pushes a magic button on his bucket that makes the dinosaur life-sized. A loud "RAAAAHH!" from the dinosaur sends Dr. Drake out of the room, but when he returns, Harry feels safe enough to have his teeth examined. Harry's mother rewards him with a trip to the library following the highly successful dentist appointment. The clear, bright, oversized illustrations bring children directly into Harry's world. All of the pictures are full-bleed spreads and are warm, accessible, and realistic. The simple text flows easily and the pacing is right on for younger listeners.--Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN

Ian Whybrow has come out with another wonderful picture book entitled Harry and the Dinosaurs say "Raahh!" It is a wonderful book to introduce the idea of visiting the dentist to children. A little boy named Harry is afraid to go to the dentist because his older sister told him that the dentist drills and fills teeth. Being a little afraid he goes in search of his dinosaur friends in his room. Harry takes the dinosaurs to the dentist with him and lets them try everything first. Harry felt better after his toy dinosaurs tried everything first and was willing to corporate with the dentist. He found out that the dentist office was not such a scary place. This is a great resource for children that have never been to a dental office and might want to know what is expected. The bright color cartoon illustrations are visual appealing to both children and adults. It is easy for children to relate to dinosaurs and their toys coming to life.

Harry and the Dinosaurs Say "Raahh!"
The first Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs was really the best. We got two others including this one. They are ok, but they just didn't have the same magic. It could be that by the time we got the others my boy was interested in books with a little more to them and these seemed kind of baby-ish. Still they aren't bad. In this one Harry is worried about his visit to the dentist. The dinosaurs are worried too. Unlike the other books in this one Harry has a button to push and the dino gets large and gives the dentist a scare. Previously only Harry could interact with them to everyone else they are just a bucketful of old dinosaur toys.
