Once upon a time, there was a boy named Harry who had a special bucket. This bucket was not just any bucket; it was full of dinosaurs! Harry and his dinosaur friends loved going on adventures together.
One day, Harry decided he wanted to be a reporter, just like his mom. A reporter is someone who writes stories for newspapers. Harry was excited to find his first big story!
Harry’s Nana lost her gardening hat, and Harry thought it would make a great story: “The Mystery of the Missing Gardening Hat!” But then, they found out the hat was on Nana’s head all along. Oops! Harry needed a new story.
Harry’s dinosaur friends told him about a big dinosaur race that happens only once every hundred years. Harry thought this would be the perfect story! But when they got to Dino World, they found out there was no race. Tori, one of the dinosaurs, had made it up to make Harry happy.
Harry was a bit sad, but then he had a great idea. They could have their own dinosaur race! All the dinosaurs agreed, and they were ready to race!
The race began with all the dinosaurs excited to win. There was Terren the Pterodactyl, Tori the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Trike the Triceratops, Py the Apatosaurus, Sid the Scelidosaurus, and Sty the Stegosaurus. They all raced as fast as they could!
But there was a problem. They forgot to make a finish line! So, they decided the first one to reach Harry’s bed would win. They all raced to Harry’s bed, and guess what? They all reached it at the same time!
The first ever dinosaur race ended in a draw, which means everyone won! Harry was so happy and proud of his dinosaur friends. He wrote a fantastic story about the race, and everyone was excited to read it.
Harry learned that sometimes the best stories are the ones you create with your friends. And even if things don’t go as planned, you can always find a way to make them fun!
And that’s how Harry became an Ace Reporter with the help of his dinosaur friends. What a wonderful adventure they had together!
Create Your Own Adventure Story: Just like Harry, you can be a reporter and create your own adventure story! Think about a fun adventure you could have with your toys or friends. Draw pictures of your adventure and write a short story about it. Share your story with your classmates or family and see what exciting adventures they come up with too!
Dinosaur Race at Home: Organize a dinosaur race at home using toy dinosaurs or any other toys you have. Set up a start and finish line in your room or backyard. Invite your family members to join in the fun and cheer for their favorite dinosaur. After the race, talk about what made the race exciting and how everyone can be a winner, just like in Harry’s story.
Observation and Reporting: Become a reporter like Harry by observing something interesting in your home or school. It could be a new plant growing, a pet doing something funny, or a friend learning a new skill. Write a short report about what you observed and why you think it’s interesting. Share your report with your class and see what interesting things they have observed too!

[Music]
Next, it’s Harry and the dinosaurs together! The magic all we do is Harry and his bucket—his bucket full of dinosaurs!
[Music]
Harry, Ace Reporter! We’re proud of you, Harry! Nice one, Harry! Ace Reporter, we’re so proud! You did great, Harry!
Dr. Huh, you don’t know what an Ace Reporter is, do you? No? That’s okay! A reporter writes for newspapers, just like Harry’s mom does. And my mom’s the best, and I’m going to be just like her!
Way to go, Harry!
Thanks, Dy!
Yes, Nana, my gardening hat has vanished into thin air! Have you seen it, Harry?
No, Nana.
Harry, that’s your big story: “Gardening Hat Thief Escapes into Thin Air!”
Oh, that’s a good story! Yeah, my first story as an Ace Reporter!
Who’s going to tell Harry where my hat is?
Harry, yes, Sid, check your head!
Oh, tough break, kid! Now I have no story.
Sometimes, Harry, the best stories are right under your own nose.
Huh? Oh, maybe!
Yeah, Sam, I’m Harry, Ace Reporter!
[Music]
Thanks so much for being a great reporter!
Poor Harry, I might as well give up now.
Right under Harry’s nose!
We’d love to stay and help you find the big story, but we’ve all got to go.
What are you on about?
Yep, it’s the big dinosaur race! It only happens once every hundred years!
Wow! A dinosaur race? No human has ever seen it before!
[Music]
Bye! Big dinosaur race!
Goodbye!
Wait! That’s my big story: the Great Dinosaur Race! Great idea, Harry! Are you ready for a trip to Dino World?
You bet! 1, 2, 3, I’m on my way to the world!
[Applause]
Where’s the race, Tori?
Yeah, my first fake story!
The way Tori H. the Ice downhill slide of ’74, I remember! But the Great Dinosaur Race? I don’t know.
Well, maybe you could just write about Dino World, huh, Harry?
Cool place, huh?
Stop joking, Tori! Where’s the race?
Uh, that way!
There is no race, is there, Tori?
No, Sid, I just kind of made it up to make Harry happy.
You’re going to have to come clean, Tori.
Can you see anything, Psy?
Nope, it’s quieter than a quilt in a quander.
Maybe we’re the first to arrive!
Tori will know where the race is.
Oh, well, uh, there’s kind of… there’s no race.
Huh? There is no race?
No race?
My story!
I know, I know what I said! Did you lie to us, Tori?
Just a little white lie, Terrence. I was trying to…
You mean a big black meteor of a lie that has just crashed to Earth with a sonic boom!
Oh, Tori!
[Music]
Harry, I’m sorry! I needed a big story, and I kind of got carried away.
That’s okay, Tori! I was going to enter my first ever race!
Me too!
Yeah, then that’s just what we’ll do!
We’ll have the first ever dinosaur race!
Yep, and it’s all thanks to Tori!
It is, yeah!
Who else is racing?
Me!
I’m racing!
Welcome to the first ever dinosaur race in history!
Number one: Terren the Pterodactyl! Let’s skateboard because this is a non-flying race!
Number two: Tori the Tyrannosaurus Rex! To make the race fair, Tori is carrying extra weight!
Me!
Number three: Trike the Triceratops!
Number four: Py the Apatosaurus!
Number five: Sid the Scelidosaurus!
And number six: Sty the Stegosaurus!
Ready?
Yeah! Set?
Yeah! Go!
And it’s Tori in the lead with Sty coming up fast on the inside!
Now it’s Py by a neck, but we’re heading downhill, and that gives carrots an advantage!
[Music]
Oh no! Sty has fallen!
Wait, that takes it to the lead!
Incoming!
[Music]
Ouch! Now it’s Sid in the lead, followed by Trike! This is anyone’s race!
Quick! Get up, Tori!
Harry, where’s the finish line?
Oh no! We forgot!
Why don’t you stop and make one?
Stop and let you win?
Never!
You stop and make one!
Not me!
Oh no! This race is going to last forever!
Great! I can’t lose!
But we can’t win either! What do we do?
What do we do now?
Don’t panic, Sty!
That’s the forest! First one to the ugly tree wins!
Yay! We win!
That’s not the ugly one!
Huh? Who says so?
Oh, I win!
Oh, do you call that tree ugly?
Yeah!
We need another finish line!
First one to Moo Mountain wins!
First one to Pillowtop Mountain!
This tree!
That rock!
I’m tired!
My bed!
Yeah! Harry’s bed!
First one to my bed wins!
[Music]
[Laughter]
Who won?
Harry, the first ever dinosaur race was also the first ever draw! We all won!
Can I interview the winners, please?
[Music]
You really are an Ace Reporter, Harry! This is amazing! I’m so proud of you! And what a wonderful picture! A truly first-class adventure!
I see the thin air gardening hat thief only made page five!
Ah, so it did!
Hey, it was a big news day!
I look great in crayon!
There you sure do, Tori! All colored in and everything!
A crossword would be a good addition!
I could write that!
Any you would mind if I make my newspaper into a hat?
[Music]
