Harry the Dirty Dog

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

Happy Birthday, Harry!

There’s never been another dog as delightful—or dirty—as Harry. This lovable white dog with black spots (or black dog with white spots) has charmed children for fifty years, and we are celebrating with a stickered anniversary edition. This childhood favorite is perfect for reading aloud before going to bed or avoiding a bath.
