  <description><![CDATA[<p>Harry is a white dog with black spots who loves everything . . . except baths. So one day before bath time, Harry runs away. He plays outside all day long, digging and sliding in everything from garden soil to pavement tar. By the time he returns home, Harry is so dirty he looks like a black dog with white spots. His family doesn't even recognize him!</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except  getting a bath.&quot; Taking matters into his own paws, he buries his family's  scrubbing brush in the backyard and runs away from home before they can wrangle  him into the tub. Harry gets dirty playing in the street, dirtier at the  railroad, and dirtier still playing tag with the other dogs. When sliding down  the coal chute, he actually changes from a white dog with black spots to a black  dog with white spots! Of course, by the time he gets home he is completely  unrecognizable to his family--even when he does all his clever flip-flopping  tricks. In a stroke of doggy genius, he unearths the bath brush, begs for a  bath, and the rest is history. Youngsters will completely relate to the urge to  rebel, the thrill of getting dirty, and, finally, the reassurance of family.  Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham's <em>Harry the Dirty Dog</em>, first published  in 1956 and now rereleased with splashes of color added by the artist herself,  is one of those picture books that children never forget. (Ages 3 to 8)  <em>--Karin Snelson</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>There's never been another dog as delightful -- or dirty -- as Harry. Whether he's a white dog with black spots, or a black dog with white spots, Harry is sure to steal your heart (and your scrub brush, too, if you're not careful).</p><p>First published in 1956, this beloved classic is a collaboration between Gene Zion and two-time Caldecott Honor winner Margaret Bloy Graham.

    <![CDATA[&quot;Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except  getting a bath.&quot; Taking matters into his own paws, he buries his family's  scrubbing brush in the backyard and runs away from home before they can wrangle  him into the tub. Harry gets dirty playing in the street, dirtier at the  railroad, and dirtier still playing tag with the other dogs. When sliding down  the coal chute, he actually changes from a white dog with black spots to a black  dog with white spots! Of course, by the time he gets home he is completely  unrecognizable to his family--even when he does all his clever flip-flopping  tricks. In a stroke of doggy genius, he unearths the bath brush, begs for a  bath, and the rest is history. Youngsters will completely relate to the urge to  rebel, the thrill of getting dirty, and, finally, the reassurance of family.  Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham's <em>Harry the Dirty Dog</em>, first published  in 1956 and now rereleased with splashes of color added by the artist herself,  is one of those picture books that children never forget.

    <![CDATA[&quot;Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except  getting a bath.&quot; Taking matters into his own paws, he buries his family's  scrubbing brush in the backyard and runs away from home before they can wrangle  him into the tub. Harry gets dirty playing in the street, dirtier at the  railroad, and dirtier still playing tag with the other dogs. When sliding down  the coal chute, he actually changes from a white dog with black spots to a black  dog with white spots! Of course, by the time he gets home he is completely  unrecognizable to his family--even when he does all his clever flip-flopping  tricks. In a stroke of doggy genius, he unearths the bath brush, begs for a  bath, and the rest is history. Youngsters will completely relate to the urge to  rebel, the thrill of getting dirty, and, finally, the reassurance of family.  Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham's <em>Harry the Dirty Dog</em>, first published  in 1956 and now rereleased with splashes of color added by the artist herself,  is one of those picture books that children never forget. (Ages 3 to 8)  <em>--Karin Snelson</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The Leave-It-To-Beaver family featured here is comically outdated, as are the scenes around town, but the story is rock-solid and truly satisfying. A rightful classic that my child wants me to read to him again and again...]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except  getting a bath.&quot; Taking matters into his own paws, he buries his family's  scrubbing brush in the backyard and runs away from home before they can wrangle  him into the tub. Harry gets dirty playing in the street, dirtier at the  railroad, and dirtier still playing tag with the other dogs. When sliding down  the coal chute, he actually changes from a white dog with black spots to a black  dog with white spots! Of course, by the time he gets home he is completely  unrecognizable to his family--even when he does all his clever flip-flopping  tricks. In a stroke of doggy genius, he unearths the bath brush, begs for a  bath, and the rest is history. Youngsters will completely relate to the urge to  rebel, the thrill of getting dirty, and, finally, the reassurance of family.  Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham's <em>Harry the Dirty Dog</em>, first published  in 1956 and now rereleased with splashes of color added by the artist herself,  is one of those picture books that children never forget.

    <![CDATA[&quot;Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except  getting a bath.&quot; Taking matters into his own paws, he buries his family's  scrubbing brush in the backyard and runs away from home before they can wrangle  him into the tub. Harry gets dirty playing in the street, dirtier at the  railroad, and dirtier still playing tag with the other dogs. When sliding down  the coal chute, he actually changes from a white dog with black spots to a black  dog with white spots! Of course, by the time he gets home he is completely  unrecognizable to his family--even when he does all his clever flip-flopping  tricks. In a stroke of doggy genius, he unearths the bath brush, begs for a  bath, and the rest is history. Youngsters will completely relate to the urge to  rebel, the thrill of getting dirty, and, finally, the reassurance of family.  Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham's <em>Harry the Dirty Dog</em>, first published  in 1956 and now rereleased with splashes of color added by the artist herself,  is one of those picture books that children never forget. (Ages 3 to 8)  <em>--Karin Snelson</em>]]>
