Harry The Dirty Dog?

I read the book ‘Harry the Dirty Dog’ the other morning which was written by Gene Zion, the pictures are by Margaret Bloy Graham.

It’s a delightful book about a white and black spotted dog called Harry.

He hates baths and when he learns that he’s to have one he hides the scrubbing brush and runs away from home.

When he’s hungry he returns home dirty, unfortunately his family doesn’t recognize him.

However Harry has a plan to show the family that he is indeed Harry?

The story shows how Harry has to comply in order to prove his identity and to get his dinner and sleep in his little bed.

The lesson for small children is that they need to listen to their parents as they only want the best for them.

It’s definitely worth reading.

So my final thoughts are; it’s a lovely book to read to young children.

Read it now and tell me what you think?
