Bark, George by Jules Feiffer
Rating: 4 stars
This is a funny little book that makes Ben and Lorelei giggle every time. George's mother wants him to bark, but he keeps making other animal sounds. So she takes him to the vet, who pulls out the animals--a cat, a pig, a duck, and then...holy smokes!...a cow! And on the way home, after walking through a sidewalk crowded with humans, George says, "hello!"
Today when I read this to Lorelei and Ben I checked their mouths for animals, and they wanted to check mine to see the reason why I was saying oink and moo. I don't recommend doing this while anyone is eating because what is just funny turns pretty gross, and a kid like Ben will want to repeat something that's gross even more times than something that's just plain funny.
This is a great making-predictions book if you want to draw lessons out of it, or it's just a fun book to read. Thanks for the suggestion, Beth!
Yeah! I knew you guys would love it. It's probably been over a year since we've read it but we can all recite it by heart.
