This news story from last year reminder me of this book: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/..., and I will definitely be reading this to my little ones. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.

Harry isn't allowed to join Sam's band because he's not very good at playing the drums. He goes to dino-world where he and the dinos gather together to play various percussion instruments. Pterence leaves the group because he can't keep time so he goes off to a cave by himself. He learns to play some great rhythms based on the sounds of nature around him. Harry and the dinos miss Pterence and go to find him, they are very impressed by what he has learnt. 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. Inside this brilliant collection of resources, you’ll find everything you need to support your lessons on the popular children’s book by Ian Whybrow.

Harry takes his blue and red robots into Dino World so that he can continue the battle they were having at home, but without Nana's scorn. When he arrives he finds a spaceship waiting for him which takes him to meet two rangers who are trying to build a space station, but they're creation is hindered by their constant quarrelling. By trying to reconcile the rangers Harry learns that it is far better to be friendly and work as a team than to argue and fight.

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 and the Dinos have set up camp in the living room and it reminds Mom of the time when she went camping with the Nature Guides. She shows them her collection of Guide badges and it inspires Harry and the Dinos to go on an a real camping trip and earn their own badges. The intrepid explorers head to Dino World where they embark on an adventure to find The Lost Falls and get some badges along the way. But with pesky bugs and scary monsters to contend with, Harry and the Dinos learn that it's not always as easy as it might seem to earn a badge! Harry is frustrated at losing games to Sam, Mom, and Nana, so he visits Dino-World where he makes up many games and wins every time. To find out who is the ultimate winner, the dinos invent a new complicated game, but after the game has taken them on a fun journey all over Dino-World they realise that winning isn't important as long as they are having fun. 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.
