What does the Pageticker team say about Harry and the Dinosaurs Go Wild?

We love the way this adventure brings an important message about endangered animals into the warm, familiar world of the Harry and the Dinosaurs series. Ian Whybrow’s characteristically playful, humorous writing keeps the subject accessible, while Harry’s determination gives young readers an encouraging example of how small actions can make a real difference. The much-loved dinosaurs add reassurance and fun, and Adrian Reynolds’ energetic illustrations bring the safari park to life. A lively, hopeful story that should spark thoughtful conversations about wildlife, conservation and the power of children’s ideas.
