I teach in a child development center. The children I teach (usually twos) have always enjoyed watching these cartoons. It gets passed around to all the classrooms from twos on up. The teachers also enjoy them. The books are always a big hit too. I highly recommend them, especially if your child is into dinosaurs!

What Parents Need to Know
About Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosaurs
Parents need to know that Harry is a kid who sometimes gets discouraged by being small and relatively powerless and takes comfort in the strengths of his dinosaur friends. It's a nice message, although it's not very powerfully conveyed. Some jokes are cultural references that will sail over the head of target viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it's like to be the smallest and youngest in a family or any situation. Why do the dinosaurs help Harry feel better? What can Harry do to help himself?

Love it!
I enjoy watching this show with my 3-year-old. It's great for exploring the imagination and teaching some social and behavioral skills at the same time.
