Harry the Dirty Dog

Our excited class of Kindergartners went to the Wilson Center for Performing Arts to see a play. The play was based on one of our favorite books. The play was based on the book, Harry the Dirty Dog written by Gene Zion.

This is one of our "Star Books". A "Star Book" is a book that the children have heard several times as a read aloud. The children then have the opportunity to "read" the books, by retelling themselves the story. Due to the fact that the students were very familiar with the book they noticed many differences between the play and the original text. The children loved seeing a live action version of one of their favorite books. The play included singing and dancing, which the students loved. A great time was had by all.
