Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs is a series of children's books written and drawn by Ian Whybrow and Adrian Reynolds. The series is about a 5-year-old boy named Harry, who has a bucket full of dinosaurs. In the books the dinosaurs talk to Harry but seem to be toys to the other characters. The other main characters are Mom, Nan and Harry's sister Sam.

It was later adapted into a 52-episode animated television series of the same name, which premiered on Cartoon Network's Tickle-U block in the United States on August 22, 2005, and on Teletoon/Télétoon in Canada on August 29, 2005. The show is also in Flanders on Ketnet, in the UK on Channel 5 and Playhouse Disney, in Latin America on Discovery Kids, in Germany on Super RTL, in Australia of Nick Jr. (in British voices) and in Sweden on Barnkanalen. In the TV series Harry plays with the dinosaurs by jumping into the bucket, which transports him to another world, called DinoWorld. Although the dinosaurs are toy-sized in the real world, within DinoWorld they become dinosaur-sized, while Harry retains his actual size. The TV episodes are available on DVD in two volumes.

The show is available to broadcasters as either 52 15-minute episodes or 26 half-hour episodes. Most channels air the half-hour episodes, but some channels might air only one 15-minute episode a day. Others, including Playhouse Disney Asia and Cartoon Network USA (as part of their Tickle-U schedule) airs two of the 15-minute episodes back to back. This is noticeable from the credits and opening being shown twice, one one each episode.

  • Each episode of the television series always begins with Harry saying the phrase that is used as the title of the episode.
  • It appears that DinoWorld is a place that is loosely based on Harry's bedroom. The wallpaper on Harry's bedroom walls corresponds to the sky of DinoWorld, while Pillow Mountain is possibly Harry's pillow. Some locations in DinoWorld do not have corresponding locations in the Harry's bedroom, however.
  • The program is offered to networks in either 26 22-minute episodes with two stories each or 52 11-minute episodes with only one story per episode. Curiously, some networks pick up the 52 11-minute episodes and air two of them back to back instead of airing just one 22-minute episode.
  • All six of Harry's dinos are actual known species of dinosaur, correctly named. Their nicknames are derived from their taxonomical names, e.g. "Patsy" from "apatosaur".
