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).  First published in 1956, this beloved classic is a collaboration between Gene Zion and two-time Caldecott Honor winner Margaret Bloy Graham.  The artist has added splashes of color to the cheerful scenes for this welcome new edition.
