This is the greatest bedtime book I have found for when the kids are around. This was one of my favorite books as a kid. A must have for every children's collection. Its story line is gentle enough that it doesn't get them wound up, in fact when were are finsihed reading they drift off to sleep happily dreaming about the "white dog with black spots" that turns into a "black dog with white spots". I recently re-discovered it on my book shelf when my friends' kids were staying with me. The four year old loves to point out all the many details of the pictures and, of course, Harry that "silly" dog that gets too dirty.
Turns out, not only does she love this book, but her 18 month old brother demands it be read to him. It's a cute, just the right length, amusing story.
I will be buying more copies for other children. I liked the part where Harry went through the coal mine, living in PA we can identify.
I purchased this book based on the reviews, for a 3 yr. My 5 year old also enjoyed it and wants her own copy.
I love a good book. old girl who loves dogs.
It's their favorite book and is read to them every evening.
Highly recommended, one of our favorites. This one is very appealing and our boy asked for it many many times, until finally (after a few dozen readings over a period of many months, ages 1-2) he got a little bored with it. This is the first of the Harry series, of which we have three. All of those books are consistently good quality, rather similar (Harry gets into trouble, there are misunderstandings, everybody gets along fine in the end).
They are so much fun to read. We came across the Harry books at our library and my daughter (2) loved them so much that I purchased them for her.
He plays and gets so dirty that his family thinks he is a different dog entirely. He hates them so much that he buries his brush and (temporarily) runs away from home. The story is sweet and simple enough for my 2 year old to enjoy, but not so simple that it's boring or babyish. I loved this book as a child and now my 2 year old loves it too. This book tells the story of Harry, who hates baths.
