Enjoyed it all over again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I loved this book as a child and loved it all over again when I read it with my siblings. They enjoyed it all over again as well. It sparked a good talk about our stories of growing up. It was fun!
An Old Favorite
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I love this one! Poor Harry doesn't like the roses on his new sweater from Grandma. He keeps trying (and failing) to "lose" it, and becomes depressed. His mood is saved by a bird that swoops in to unravel the sweater for a nest - and Grandma sends Harry a new, better sweater in the end, so everyone winds up happy. Great muted colors and "retro"-style illustrations, too.
Engaging reading

My 4 year old daughter loves reading this book by herself; she just can not get enough. It is a lovely companion book to Harry and the Lady Next door.
I love Harry! and his sweaters too!

This is one of the best stories ever.Simple, funny, well constructed, satisfying, It's also my favorite of all the "harry" stories. Wish there were more books like these instead of today's pretentious, shallow, and expensive kids books.
My favorite Harry Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Of all the Harry Books, this one is my fave. Harry, a white dog with black spots, gets a present from Grandma--a sweater with big roses all over it. He hates it. He gets laughed at when he wears it, so he tries losing it...several times. He is finally rid of the sweater in an imaginative plot sequence that involves a mother bird. It's a sequence that also spares Grandma's feelings, thank goodness! The story ends with Harry receiving a new sweater from Grandma, one he likes very much. It's a white sweater with black spots. The ending is no doubt a reason why the book is a favorite of mine. My two-year-old likes all the Harry Books. The stories contain wonderful twists of plot but are written in simple language. Also, there are only a couple of sentences on each page and the illustrations correspond beautifully to the text (a rare treat, given that the author was not the illustrator), so even though they are recommended for young schoolchildren, toddlers will be able to enjoy these books.
