'Bark, George' is no exception! This is an adorable book about a puppy named George who cannot seem to bark for his mother.

I haven't met a book with a dog in it that I haven't liked yet. This book would fit nicely in a curriculum with pets or animals unit in a classroom setting. Most small children would enjoy this book because they can find humor in the different sounds the dog makes before he can actually 'arf.' Most children are aware of the sounds dogs make, and when George is constantly letting out another sound other than a dog bark, children will find it silly or funny.

This picture book keeps the illustrations very simple with a solid background on each page, and keeping the mother dog, George, and the doctor placed consistently throughout the book.

I would use this book in a classroom setting where children are starting to associate familiar sounds with what type of animal they come from. This book is about a mother dog who is trying to teach her puppy, George, to make the sound of a dog 'arf.' To her surprise George lets out other sounds of different animals such as a duck, pig, cat, cow, etc. 'Young readers will roar with laughter at this slapstick farce.The picture book Bark George has always been one of my favorites since I was a small child. It all makes for a witty, laugh-out-loud play on the old favorite about the old lady who swallowed a fly.' -ALA Booklist *(Starred Review)* 'Feiffer's characters are unforgettable.the pictures burst with the sort of broad physical comedy that a lot of children just love.
