Mehso-so

One of these things is not like the other! Didn't notice the 'based on the character' on the Guinea Pig one until I already had it home from the library. 🤦🏼‍♂️
No Roses for Harry seems a little more pointless than the last two I read about Harry: style preference rather than perception check. Didn't like that the story didn't confront people laughing at someone for the clothing they wore or why male didn't like floral/feminine cloth? 🙄 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 There's definitely some 1958 publication date gender stuff. I'm hoping there's a more relevant children's book version out there that would emphasize a being's right to choose what to wear, whether or not they liked roses, no matter how they identify. 🌹Harry and the Guinea Pig feels too much like an amalgam of children's stories I've read before, the fuss over who gets attention mashed up with a contrived mystery/adventure. Lost the charm of the originals. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 6mo

It's Harry's (Harry the Dirty Dog) birthday. Grandma has lovingly hand-knitted him a sweater. Although it is cosy and snug, it's covered in roses, so Harry decides it has to go - with hilarious consequences….
A child favorite! #sweater #gratefulharvest @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
