This is a sweet story about a family dog who's white with black spots. I read this one a while ago. The only thing I really remember about it is that when Harry goes to the beach with the family, he wanders away from the blanket. Then he can't find his family because it seems everyone on the beach has that yellow, white, and green stripped umbrella (the one on the cover).

Harry visits the seashore with his family and becomes a seaweed monster. This is a funny tale in the series of books about Harry by Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham. The illustrations are humorous and the story is timeless (even the swimsuits are back in style!) We really enjoyed reading this story together. It's a nice tale for the end of summer.

I read this book as a child. The only thing I did not like bout this book as a adult is it refereed to a woman as "fat". I think in today's world there are to many negative stereo-types.

On our 2010 summer reading list.
A classic story of Harry the dog causing mischief at the beach. This would be good for read alouds for 1st-3rd grades.

My three year old enjoyed this book. The story is exciting and Harry really does look like a sea serpent covered in sea weed.

One of my all time favorite children's books. I read it to 3 of my 4 kids and I believe they all enjoyed it.

Harry goes to the sea, loses his family, and scares beachgoers when he gets covered with seaweed. I have always loved all of the "Harry" books, so I was thrilled that my 5-year-old is just as enchanted by them. She has asked for multiple readings of this story.

This book can show how important a dog can be to a family. I enjoyed reading it, even though it was quite long.
