Simply because it still makes me laugh out loud, I'm voting this my favourite story about Harry, but his other adventures - ' Harry The Dirty Dog (Red Fox Picture Books) ' and ' No Roses For Harry (Red Fox picture books) ' - are also great reads. As well as being jolly good fun for children and adults alike (the scenes where Harry is mistaken for all sorts of horrible sea creatures have me crying with laughter even now), 'Harry by the Sea' also examines what it means to be a family and to care for others. Gene Zion's words take the reader through a range of emotions and as ever, Harry is brought to life by illustrator Margaret Bloy Graham - especially during his brief incarnation as a monster from the deep. Finally he finds a quiet spot at the water's edge, and that's when his seaside adventure really begins! Harry and his family go to the beach on holiday, but Harry is too hot, and it's not long before he's getting under everyone's feet. Books by Gene Zion 9 Harry the Dirty Dog Harry, el perrito sucio Harry and the Lady Next Door No Roses for Harry All Falling Down Harry by the Sea Really. At eighteen months old, our daughter is a bit too young to get the most out of Harry's antics, but she loves hearing the story and looking at the pictures.
My husband is a great fan too, so I recently bought a new copy of 'Harry by the Sea', partly for old time's sake and partly to introduce Harry to the next generation.
When I was a child, I absolutely adored Harry the dog, and I was delighted to find him still in print nearly forty years later.
