Bark, George
 

Bark, George

by Jules Feiffer

"Bark, George," says George's mother, and George goes: "Meow," which definitely isn't right, because George is a dog.
And so is his mother, who repeats, "Bark, George." And George goes, "Quack, quack."

What's going on with George? Find out in this hilarious new picture book from Jules Feiffer.

Well, heck, I did not expect this book to be as cute as it was. I'm thinking " a dog, wow." But amazingly a story about a puppy with barking difficulties can hold its own, especially when Feiffer keeps up the energetic pace to explain George's condition. It's offbeat and hilarious.
Terrific Book!

This book is so much fun for both children and adults. Both the story and illustrations are great! Also, it is a very easy book for pre-readers to memorize, and they have so much fun with it. My 4 1/2 granddaughter and 3 1/2 year old grandson both loved it!
GREAT PICTURES!!

This book was loved by my three nephews (one is 4 and the twins are 2). I was already their favourite aunt but I think I actually moved up a few notches on the scale with this one.

On my one week stay with my sister, I read this book to my nephews at least once per day. The four year-old liked it so much that we performed a show with puppets for the whole family based on this book.
Quirky fun for the young

"Bark, George" is typical Silverstein, innocuous on the surface, somewhat subversive within the depths. The child I read it to loves it, and has it memorized, and the adults find the unexpected ending very amusing. A bit of all right...
