Cute, classic, fine. Not my favorite, but nothing wrong with it. The scenes of burying the brush and hiding it were cute.

Harry hates taking baths, so he runs away from home and becomes the dirtiest dog ever. He becomes so dirty, that his family no longer recognizes him!

I quite enjoyed this picture book and liked that it discusses the importance of maintaining a clean image.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

A cute story about a mischievous dog. I remember reading this one as a small child, but nobody reads it better than national treasure, Betty White!

Classic dog story that can be read again and again. Adorable illustrations that don't overpower the sweet story.

This was a really cute story about a dog that likes to be dirty, but when his appearance changes because he's so dirty, he realizes that sometimes being clean is good after all... but that doesn't make him like baths any better. This is another book that is good to read to someone or for K-2nd grade because of the vocabulary used. Readers who might enjoy this are those who: like books about dogs, like books about messes, or like books about acting silly.

My niece & nephew really enjoyed listening to me read this to them.

Lovely and perfect encouragement for a kid who needs a bath

A great length for an evening story, with cute, impressively detailed illustrations and a pleasant story. Afterwards my kid was much more excited about taking a bath.

You've got to love a dog that isn't recognized by his family because he's so dirty!
