Product Information

Harry decides he wants to be an inventor and takes a trip to Dinoworld in search of inspiration. Making sure they're kitted out with lab coats and have all the tools of the trade, Harry and the Dinos set about working on their new inventions. The inventors toil away on their projects, but their inventions don't always turn out as they planned... Remembering Mom's advice that the best inventions always help in some way, Harry learns that sometimes less is more! Harry is curious to know what a 'quest' is after he sees Sam reading a book about Jason and the Quest for the Golden Fleece. While Mom is explaining, Nana mentions that Mom's birthday is coming up and Harry and the Dinos decide to go to Dino World to embark on a quest of their own to find the perfect birthday gift.

After watching a movie about the life of a Cleopatra, the gang go to Dino World to make Patsy Queen. The other dinos grow a little restless, and want to play a game that is a little more interesting and includes treating everyone as equals. Patsy then decides to have a chariot race, and learns that playing with the other dinos is much more fun than being waited on hand and foot. Harry wants to do many things at once so instead of choosing one activity he goes to Dino-World to replicate himself so that he can do them all. The play-doh clones of himself that Harry creates aren't much fun for the dinos to play with. The story ends with Harry learning the value of pacing himself and taking part in one activity at a time. When Harry is disappointed that he can't have what he wants for breakfast he goes to Dino-world where he has created a diner and appointed himself as head chef. Harry starts to feel the pressure of running a diner when the dinosaurs start complaining about the quality of the food. In an attempt to please everybody, Harry bakes a special dino-cake, but this turns out to be very unpopular. The episode ends with Harry returning home for some of Nana's cooking which he thoroughly enjoys. Harry and the Dinos are having a great time making shadow puppets in Harry's bedroom – until their shadows disappear into Dino World... Fortunately, shadows love to play hide and seek almost as much as dinosaurs, and so follows the greatest game of hide and seek that Dino World has ever seen! But with their ability to hide almost anywhere, the shadows aren't going to make it easy for their more solid counterparts to find them!

Space Captain Harry and his Dino crew boldly go where no dino has gone before: Dino World!Harry is reluctant to have a bath so he goes to Dino-World where he endeavours to become as dirty and stinky as he possibly can. He becomes so repulsively filthy that even the dinosaurs don't want to play with him and he is even crowned King of the Swamp. However, when faced with losing his hair as a result of his uncleanness, Harry decides a bath would actually be quite nice after all. Harry accidentally smashes his mom's favourite china teacup. Harry, Charley, and the Dinos are unable to fix it themselves so they take it to Dino-World to try to repair it. Unable to do so, Harry is forced to admit to his mom that he has broken it. As a thoughtful gesture, Harry replaces the cup with a homemade cup. I like videos. But I like my dinosaurs better because you can fix then, you can bath them, you can take them to bed. And best of all, you can say their names.'" At home, Harry is pretending to be a Super Hero, but his efforts to help his family only cause more problems, so he goes to Dino-World where he can be a real Super Hero thanks to the super-hero qualities displayed by each of his dinos! When he finds his Mom's missing car keys Harry becomes a true Super Hero in her eyes. A difference is that the book series includes an Anchisaurus as one of Harry's dinosaurs while the TV series, for unknown reasons, does not.
