While cleaning the attic with his grandmother, Harry finds a dusty, old box of dinosaurs. Instantly enthralled, he cleans each dinosaur and puts them where they will be happiest – in a bucket. Harry loves his dinosaurs and takes them to the library, where he learns each of their names. Afterwards, the dinosaurs go everywhere he does. But then one day after an exciting train ride, Harry accidentally leaves them behind. Sad and lonely, Harry must
get his dinosaurs back, because to him they are more than just toys, they’re his friends.
From the book while Harry was at the library:
He found out all the names in a book and told them to the dinosaurs
He whispered to each one:
“You are my Scelidosaurus.”
“You are my Stegosaurus.”
“You are my Triceratops.”
And there were enough names for all of the dinosaurs:
the Apatosaurus, the Anchisaurus, and the Tyrannosaurus.
The dinosaurs said, “Thank you, Harry.”
They said it very quietly,
but just loud enough for Harry to hear.
