Event synopsis 2

Harry fans will be able to find out what happens to their hero when he grows too old for the bucketful of dinosaurs. (Don’t worry. The fact is that Harry may think he’s given up on the dinosaurs – but whenever he’s in trouble, they turn up to help, anyway. The difference is that this time, they’re red in tooth and claw – and a lot harder to handle!) Roar to the Rescue and The Snow Smashers are the first in the new series. Just the job for some monster adventures with Harry and his friends.
