Harry the Dirty Dog
Harry the Dirty Dog introduces children to a white dog with black spots who absolutely, positively hates to take a bath!
When Harry hears the bathtub water running and sees the scrubbing brush, he decides to make a daring escape to avoid the dreaded bath.
At first life is grand! He played where men were fixing the street. Then, he played at the railroad tracks. He slid down a coal chute, and he even played tag with a few other runaway dogs.
But then, Harry began to get hungry and decided to head home. Unfortunately, after his day of adventure, Harry gets so dirty that he no longer looks like a white dog with black spots.
In fact, now he looks like a black dog with white spots! And what’s worse? No one recognizes him! What will Harry do?!?
This endearing book has become a classic, entertaining young readers for decades. Perfect for young fans of dogs… especially ones who also don’t always want a bath! This funny picture book about the strong-willed dog who really doesn’t want a bath stands the test of time.Â
