He also enjoyed Harry's failed attempts to ditch the sweater. The illustrations bothered him a lot though. They all have a very green tinge, at least in the copy we borrowed.

Now our granddaughter, age four has found Harry.

So, here are some of my favorite activities for Harry the Dirty Dog along with a short synopsis of the book.In this early reader based on the Curious George TV show, George learns about height and measurement at an amusement park. In short, this modern classic of 20th century literature subsumes our bourgeois preconceptions in a tale of real drama and urgency, a creative maelstrom in which modern angst is conceptualised in canine form. For it is not a Scotty per se, rather it is a cypher for man's eternal (non)interconnectedness with the natural world, realised with Zion's characteristic perspicuity, its disingenuous indirectness a paradoxical signifier of its vital directness and its relevance, in real terms, to the anguished unreality of the modern - and yet forebodingly ancient - the disjunction of Man and his nearest (this terminology rapaciously encompassing Woman and her nearest) post-Jungian-evolutionary relation.

And to the ages. Like all the Harry stories, this has wonderful illustrations and great humour. A really fun dog story, highly recommended.

I read this book soooooo many times as a kid. Partly I was just obsessed with dogs (okay, I still kind of am). But also, this story is just really, really cute! I reread it for the first time since childhood yesterday and yep, I still think it's great. I think maybe I could identify with Harry having to wear something he didn't like (although for the most part my parents let me dress myself, which, let me tell you, was brave of them), and it's nice that in the end Harry gets his way without hurting anyone's feelings.

Although there were many other things to do, Harry began to wonder if his family thought that he had really run away.It was wonderful to be home. After dinner, Harry fell asleep in his favorite place, happily dreaming of how much fun it had been getting dirty. He slept so soundly, he didn't even feel the scrubbing brush he'd hidden under his pillow. A wonderful story about a little dog that goes on an adventure and gets so dirty he looks completely different. The illustrations are beautiful and so full of humour. We read a couple of Harry books when my children were young but didn't have this one, we love the one we own and have read it again and again. Definitely one I would buy if I came across it. Thanks to goodreads friend Margie mentioning how wonderful these are I found this one and several others on open library.
