Illustrated by
Adrian Reynolds.
Harry's bucketful of toy dinosaurs--his outspoken alter egos--want a duckling for Christmas. Harry wishes hard, and on Christmas Eve sets out an egg-shaped container for the dinosaurs. As usual with this series, the humorous text and sweetly happy illustrations mask a few extra layers. True believers will understand that the gift the dinos get--a baby pterodactyl--is not just a toy and will please the dinosaurs as much as it pleases Harry.
