Home Teaching - Harry the dirty dog

Harry, is a dog who hates to bathe.   It buried the bathing brush and ran away from home to play.   It got itself dirty and tired.  Upon returning home,it was surprised that it's owners could not recognise it.   It's last choice was to dug out the brush it buried and had a good bath in order for it's owners to recognise it.   We did a lapbook based on this literature this month.

Our lapbook cover.   Png Png meant to draw a white Harry with black patches and a black Harry with white patches.
