Harry the Dirty Dog
Reviewed by Children’s Book List
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).

There’s not much to this story. It’s actually kind of sad because the family doesn’t even recognize the dog when it’s all dirty.
Tired of their usual routine, the farm animals insist on moving into the house, so the family decides to move into the barn, but eventually everyone tires of this new arrangement.

I really don’t like books that do not have consequences, but this one even goes a step further, there’s not even any discipline. The animals get to do what they want and the people just agree.
