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.

It's bedtime for the little red chicken, and Papa is going to read her a story.  "You're not going to interrupt the story tonight, are you?" asks Papa.  "Oh no, Papa.  I'll be good," says the little red chicken.  But she just can't help herself!  Whether it's Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, or Chicken Little, as soon as the story gets going...out jumps the little red chicken--right into the story--saving the characters from danger and ending the story early.  Will that chicken ever get to sleep?
