Harry and the Lady Next Door: (I Can Read Book Series: Level 1) »

Gene Zion and two-time Caldecott Honor winner Margaret Bloy Graham have collaborated on several favorite stories about Harry: Harry by the Sea, Harry the Dirty Dog, and No Roses for Harry.

Harry is a little white dog with black spots who has a big problem—the lady next door sings all the time and hurts poor Harry's ears. She sings higher than the peanut man's whistle and louder than the siren on the fire engine, but no one does anything about it—except Harry that is. Harry comes up with one clever scheme after another to get her to stop, each one funnier than the last and each one landing him a night in the doghouse. But Harry is ingenious and persistent, and his attempts finally lead to a solution that is a wonderful surprise for both Harry and the lady next door.



Gene Zion wrote several popular children's books including All Falling Down which received a Caldecott Honor, as well as all of the favorite stories about Harry the dog, Harry by the Sea, Harry the Dirty Dog, and No Roses for Harry!

Margaret Bloy Graham illustrated all of the Harry the dog books, as well as two Caldecott Honor books, All Falling Down by Gene Zion and The Storm Book by Charlotte Zolotow.
