Oh No, George!

Product Information

He then feels remorse for making a mess and upsetting Harry, this is the turning point as you see George’s character grow. George loves to eat cake, chase cats, dig in the garbage and all sorts of other things that dogs love to do. That George also gets the chance to do it all again the right way shows children that they can do it too and that we all learn eventually. The book tells the story of a dog named George who continually disobeys his owner Harris who asked him to be good before he left him on his own for the day.

The expressions are so easy to see and I love the simplicity of the pictures and how everything looks. Set to a gorgeously rich colour palette of purples, orange and deep crimson, this is a delightfully playful tale with minimal text but oodles of personality that shows how the best intentions can go awry.This work speaks to the same moral questions as Lobel's classic treatment of the interplay of desire and self-mastery, "Cookies" in Frog and Toad Together. George, the hero of this dog-behaving-badly story from Haughton (LITTLE OWL LOST), hits the canine trifecta: oversize snout, floppy ears, and an anguished expression. It's good to open up discussions about what they'd do in George's place and what they actually should do in George's place! He was listed in Time magazine's 'DESIGN 100' for the work he has been doing for Fair Trade clothing company People Tree.

Being a Booktrust Best New Illustrator 2011, you'd expect Chris Haughton's artwork to be amazing - but the sophisticated rich jewel colour palette offers both adults and children something beautiful to look at. After he behaves badly when his owner Harris is out, he tries harder on a trip to the park - but will he be able to resist temptation? J'aime aussi les habiletés de pré-lecture qu'elle développe en feuilletant le livre elle-même et en étant en mesure de relater l'action dans ses mots: "Oh non, George il mange le gâteau!
