Who can resist Harry?
The cute, friendly little dog loves the beach, but doesn't care much for the hot sun. When he finds there's no room for him under the family umbrella, he goes in search of cool shade. In typical fashion for Harry, one thing leads to another until he's covered in seaweed and mistaken for a sea monster. Despite his alarming appearance, Harry enjoys the cool seaweed until he's finally (accidentally) rescued by a hot dog vendor. (Get it? "Hot dog?!")
Subtle humor and ridiculous but somehow plausible situations capture even the most reluctant reader.

Zion's introduction to simple, compound and complex sentences is a perfect primer for young readers. In their ability to arrest a young reader's attention, these works are easily on the level of Seuss's.
