Because Harry is so clever, he figures out a way to show his family that it is really him underneath all the dirt. I was so caught up in Harry’s world, I was actually really scared that his family would never recognize him. When he starts to miss his family and arrives home, they don’t recognize him! This is the very point in the story that drops me back into the emotional state of a child fearing that Harry will never be reunited. He hates it so much that he buries his scrub brush in the yard and runs away! He gets so dirty on his adventure about the town that he turns from a white dog with black spots into a black dog with white spots. This is the story of Harry, a dog who hates his bath. It’s the one childhood picture book I easily recall from start to finish and one I can read over and over again. One of my favorite picture books as a kid was Harry the Dirty Dog.
