《Harry the Dirty Dog》这本绘本诞生于1956年，是两度获得凯迪克大奖的作者格雷厄姆的经典作品，被纽约公共图书馆评为“每个人都应该知道的100本绘本”，入选日本儿童文学家协会《世界绘本100选》等。这本作品还被称作“世界绘本的里程碑力作”，作者所刻画的主角小脏狗Harry的形象也深入人心。
故事是这样的：有一只叫做Harry的可爱小狗，它非常讨厌洗澡，为了逃避洗澡，它把刷子埋在后院里，然后离开了家。它在外面到处溜达，全身变得脏兮兮，从一只有着黑色斑点的小白狗变成了有着白色斑点的小黑狗。最后又累又饿的它终于决定回家。然而，主人们看到这只小黑狗居然没有认出是Harry。最后，Harry是如何证明自己，回归这个家庭的呢？我们在绘本中寻找答案吧！
本书重点：和宝贝一起欣赏这个有趣的故事，生词，scrubbing brush [ˈskrʌbɪŋ brʌʃ] n.板刷，bery [ˈberi] v.埋葬，coal [kəʊl] n.煤，chute [ʃuːt] n.斜槽，crawl [krɔːl] v.爬，fence [fens] n.栅栏，trick [trɪk] n.把戏，flip [flɪp] v.快速翻转，flop [flɒp] v.猛然坐下，furiously [ˈfjʊərɪəsli] adv.猛烈地，soapiest [ˈsəʊpɪɪst] adj.满是肥皂的，wag [wæɡ] v.摇动。
重点句型：Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except...getting a bath.哈利是一只长着黑色斑点的小白狗，它什么都喜欢，除了...洗澡。He played where they were fixing the street and got very dirty.它到正在整修的街上玩，弄得全身脏兮兮的。It was wonderful to be home.回家的感觉太好了。
亲子阅读指导：精读绘本，精读的常规方法是指图+肢体语言。家长先和孩子来看一下绘本的封面，封面上有两只小狗，让宝贝观察一下这两只小狗有什么相同的地方，又有什么不同的地方。左边是“a white dog with black spots”；右边是“a black dog with white spots”。Harry是如何从左边的小白狗变成右边的小黑狗的呢？
家长指图念绘本：Harry was a white dog with black spots（指着图中的小狗狗） who liked everything, except...getting a bath（做搓澡的动作）.原来这是一只不爱洗澡的狗狗。为了逃避洗澡，它做了些什么呢？So one day when he heard the water running in the tub（指指图中浴室里的浴缸）, he took the scrubbing brush（指着Harry嘴里的刷子）...聪明的Harry竟然把搓澡的刷子叼走了……
and buried it（模仿Harry做出挖坑埋土的动作） in the backyard（指指背景的后院环境）. Then he ran away from home（做跑步的动作）.He played where they were fixing the street （指指图中的背景，和孩子一起观察这是什么地方）and got very dirty.引导宝贝观察一下，Harry有什么变化？是不是变脏了？......
后面的内容采取类似的讲述方式即可。这本绘本虽有部分句子看起来较长，但其实生词少，结构也相对简单，而且最重要的是图文对应非常到位，亲子共读起来还是很好理解的。这本幽默风趣的绘本还有着很棒的寓意，借助小脏狗Harry的故事告诉了孩子们不洗澡的后果，向小朋友们友善地揭示了讲卫生的道理。我们的生活中也有不少像Harry一样不爱洗澡的宝贝，妈妈们用这本绘本来引导最合适不过了！
