Harry by the Sea: A Classic Dog Picture Book for Kids (Ages 4-8) About Funny Beach Adventures (Harry the Dog)

I had this book as a child and got it for my granddaughter. We love it!

These Harry stories are so well written and the children easily understand what is transpiring. Always a clever ending. Illustrations seem dated, but kids don't mind. I was a school teacher, then a school librarian for over 25 years, and these books were very popular. Now I purchase these books for my grandchildren's home library.

My kids love this book! Love that it can be purchased so easily.

Reading to the grandkids ages 6 and 7, but the 3 year old also enjoys listening to the stories.

My son in 1st grade loved this book.

All of the Harry books are great reading, but this is my personal favorite. Harry gets lost at the beach when he wanders too far away and can't find his family back because the entire beach is dotted with protective umbrellas like the one his family has! This chronicles his fun, and scary time finding his family back. Cleverly illustrated solely in green and yellow/orange the Harry books are standouts in kids reading. My kids love all of Harry's adventures, this is the funnest, because of the setting. Thank goodness someone had the sense to republish these books and market them for today's audience! No scouring old bookstores for dogeared copies, they are sold right on Amazon in crystal-clear copy!

This is the extension of the beloved classic. :-) The good: - Simple and easy to understand for kids (2-6ish). - Adorable illustrations. - The big version is easy for kids to hold and the pages are easy to turn. The bad: - Wish the paper was sturdier, not cardboard pages necessarily, but a sturdier paper stock would be better for younger kids. LOVED this book. Great for kids and my niece loves this book.

The Harry books are absolute classics, and this one is no exception. Adorbs drawings and charming story. Love it!

Historia divertida pero el de “Harry the dirty dog”, en mi opinion le da bastantes vueltas. Aquí va mi reseña: 1)👎🏻 la calidad del libro en si no me convence. Las paginas son amarillas, tipo papel reciclado. 2)🤷🏼‍♀️ la historia no llama tanto la atención pero no está mal. Lo compré para mi hija de 2 años a la cual le gusta mucho la lectura. El del dirty dog es de sus favoritos. 3) 👍🏻el vocabulario es relativamente fácil. Nosotros somos de habla inglés pero si no lo fuéramos, con un nivel B1 (pre intermedio) creo que sería suficiente. Si ya tienes alguno de Harry en la colección, está bien pero sino, compra los clásicos prometo. Si os ha resultado util la reseña, se agradece que lo hagáis saber dándole al botón de aquí abajo! ⬇️🤗

Hurry Hurryのハリー君今日は海辺でお散歩。 日影がないかと探すうち、とうとうお化けになっちゃった。

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. 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. 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. 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. Finally he finds a quiet spot at the water's edge, and that's when his seaside adventure really begins! 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. 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. 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.

The book arrived and is being enjoyed.

A classic tale for young readers
