Synopsis

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!

New York Times

Harry is sure to be loved; especially by those pre-school children to whom dirt is an ever-delightful thing.
