The Harry series is suitable for pre-schoolers and early school-aged children and is about a young boy called Harry who lives on a farm. Each book is based on a Bible story or verse and contains a clear, yet simple gospel message. The accompanying illustrations of the whimsical countryside scenes are hand drawn by Mary Weatherup, who lives on a farm in rural Northern Ireland. In this book Harry who lives on a farm with his mother and father, his sister Susie and Toby the dog learns valuable lessons from his experiences with a muddy pig. Harry and his father give Gladys the pig a bath in preparation for a farming show. But when the show day arrives, Gladys is missing and it looks as if all their hard work has been wasted.
