A bath-avoiding dog gets thoroughly dirty

Harry begins as a white dog with black spots and has one firm objection: bath time. His refusal sends him into a day of adventure, where so much dirt changes his appearance into the reverse—black with white spots. The central comic situation turns an everyday childhood standoff into a visual case of mistaken identity, with Harry’s spots and cleanliness driving the action. This anniversary board-book edition presents the enduring dog story in a compact, sturdy format designed for very young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy stories about dogs
  • Families sharing books about everyday routines such as bath time
  • Toddlers and preschoolers who like visual transformations and comic mix-ups

Book overview

Don't miss Harry the Dirty Dog! This funny picture book about the strong-willed dog who really doesn't want a bath stands the test of time.

Harry is a white dog with black spots who absolutely, positively hates to take a bath. After a day of adventure, Harry gets so dirty that he no longer looks like a white dog with black spots. Now he looks like a black dog with white spots!

Harry the Dirty Dog has become a classic, entertaining young readers for decades. Perfect for young fans of dogs...especially ones who also don't always want a bath! This board book edition features sturdy pages and is just the right size for little ones.

For more fun with Harry the Dirty Dog, don't miss No Roses for Harry! and Harry and the Lady Next Door. As Children's Books and Their Creators said about all three books: "There is a droll, seemingly effortless union of art and text in the Harry stories, a delicious mastery of everyday foolishness."
