This award winning (ALA Notable Children's Books: 2000, School Library Journal Best Books: 1999, Booklist Editors' Choice - Books for Youth - Young Readers Category: 1999, and many more) picture book is clever, hilarious, and fun. I loved it! And I’m sure children will enjoy the story of George, a puppy who won’t say arf. The illustrations aren’t very polished and the wording isn’t the most sophisticated, but the animal sounds and cartoon-like pictures will have readers of all ages giggling. The drawings of George’s exasperated mom and the Georges’ surprise ending make this book a classic! ( )This is a good storytime book because of the large-format, simple illustrations and the opportunities available to do funny sound effects and different voices. Even though this is one of those "highly recommended" picture books, it's not one that grabbed me as being exceptional or especially interesting. I also didn't love the illustrations. which seemed messy and uninspired. Perhaps I'm being unfair to the book - the person-swallows-fly-and-other-assorted -oddities picture book trope is not one that I like very much! I like it so I think you will like it too. So much fun! Unexpected and enjoyable for 2-6 year olds. no reviews | add a review
