Harry the Dirty Dog... and More Playful Puppy Stories (Scholastic Storybook Treasures)

Great dog story. Great price and shipped quickly. These books are a great series. Daughter loves them. Have not used with books b/c too young but plan as she gets older.

I am very pleased with this great DVD especially since it has great stories for children, and teachers, like me, can use it in the classroom. It was a great buy!

My 22month old loves this book and he loves the DVD just as much. The other dog stories are a bonus too!

I use to read this to my 28 year old when she was 3!!! Was so surprised and happy to find in in hardcover all these years later. Now I can share this wonderful book with their children!

There are 2 versions for Harry Dirty Dog by Scholastic. This version is shorter with less stories. I bought by mistake Horrible time with shipping/mailing.

Makes me feel like the best moments of my own childhood listening to these stories read and watching them play out on the screen. Especially like the feature to turn the "read-along words" on or off. We used them on, but it's nice to have a choice.

This DVD has three wonderful dog stories as well as three bonus stories. Harry the Dirty Dog is about a small white dog with black spots. One day he get so dirty that he becomes a black dog with white spots and finally agrees to a bath. Nicely done and narrated. Very close to the original story. Officer Buckle and Gloria is about a safety conscious police man who finally manages to get his message across with the help of the talented police dog Gloria. John Lithgow dos a great job with this one. The story includes a scene of Officer Buckle testing Gloria's training. Otherwise it is right on with the book. Angus and the Ducks is about a curious Scottie who finally finds out what is making the quackity quack noises on the other side of the hedge. This one is live action and includes Angus with his siblings and being taken to his new home, walks in the park and other small differences from the original book. The Beast of Monsieur Racine is about a champion pear-grower who finds a mysterious beast in his garden one night and stuns the scientific community. I am not familiar with the book but found the narration choppy and the animation crude. 14 Rats and a Rat-Catcher is a two-sided story about an old lady in her cottage and the rats that live underneath (or the rats' cottage and the horrible lady who lives above). Another book I am not familiar with but nicely done. John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat is about an old lady, her jealous sheep dog and a cat that visits the garden at night. Another book I do not know. The animation was a series of stills (no actual movement anywhere in the story). I bought this one as the three main stories are all favorites in the family.

it was everything i expected. arrived as expected, very enjoyable by all the kids and adults alike, we sill surely recommend it.
