Harry By The Sea by Gene Zion features Harry, the black and white dog with a nose for mischief, back in another adventure!

Harry and the family have gone to the beach, but it's too sunny and he's one hot dog! With nowhere else to find some shade, he takes cover under a pile of seaweed. The only problem is that now everyone thinks he's a sea monster, and he can't find his family.

This is the third classic story from the Harry series and is as fresh and funny as when it was first written.
