This book is an oldie, but a goodie. Originally released in 1956, Harry the Dirty Dog -- written by Gene Zion -- is the story of a dog who, afraid of getting a bath, runs away and gets really really dirty. He goes from being a "white dog with black spots to a black dog with white spots."
The illustrations by Margaret Bloy Graham are probably Allen's favorite part of the book. He enjoys finding Harry in each picture, and seeing just how dirty he's really getting. And the best part, of course, is when Harry gets reunited with his family.
I'm not sure what exactly gives this book the honor of getting picked repeatedly, but I know Allen likes it, which means I like it too :)
