Everyone of course knows the story of Harry the Dirty Dog. Harry doesn’t want to take a bath, so he buries his scrubbing brush in the backyard and heads out of the yard, eventually getting so dirty that he becomes a black dog with white spots. By the time he comes back home, his family doesn’t even recognize him. But he digs out his brush and pleads with them for a bath–you can figure out what happens next. We all read it as a child or had it read to us. It’s a great story that teaches us all about what happens when we rebel against our families–it eventually comes back to us. It ultimately teaches children to just behave and take a bath!
This is one of my favorite children’s books, and of course it also involves animals! Click on the picture of the book above to get more information or to buy the book, or click here. It’s a wonderful story for the kids in your life!

Hi Coryelle,
Isn’t this book one of the greatest? Another way animals help us – to tap into great memories….even if they do it via books!
Thanks for stopping by,
