Editorial Reviews

Review

* "Renowned cartoonists Boynton and Booth team up for a delightful day in the life of canine George. This white dog lives a sedentary life and prefers to sit and sport a sour grin as members of his family beckon him one by one. With the exception of who's calling, the first several pages are identical: 'HERE, GEORGE!' says a voice. But 'George does not move.' However, after they leave the pooch on his own, he hears some music and gets up to dance Snoopy-style through a full double-page spread. When his humans return, they find George in the exact same position as they left him—but with some fond memories that summon a wag from 'his happy tail.' Boynton closes the work with the clever aside: 'And he is wild about dancing. (Which no one knows but you).' Booth's iconic cartoon dog, made famous in the pages of the New Yorker, is constructed with a fluid and endearingly shaky line. He masterfully registers a change in mood with a simple upward flick of a cartoon grin or a sideways glance. Boynton's text is a simple and playful complement, rendered a stand-alone visual element by the decidedly Booth-ian faux handwritten typeface. It's a one-joke book, but with such master humorists at work, who needs anything more?" ― Kirkus, starred review

"Readers are let in on a secret in this story of a white dog that appears to spend much of his time perched on his knobby haunches and staring. When George’s family calls to him—'Here, George!'—George stays perfectly still: 'George does not move.' After watching 'the man and the lady and the child drive away' (they never appear on the page) and taking a nap, George perks up at the sound of distant music. Unexpectedly, 'now George is dancing. And dancing. And dancing.' Once George’s family comes home and calls out to him, Boynton and Booth return to the previous formula: 'George does not move, except for his happy tail.' New Yorker cartoonist Booth demonstrates his keen sense of the comedy to be found in contrast, as George goes from being nonresponsive and glum to kicking up his heels when no one is watching." ― Publishers Weekly

About the Author

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over seventy-five children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 85 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children’s music. Three of her six albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning “One Shoe Blues” starring B.B. King, “Alligator Stroll” starring Josh Turner, and “Tyrannosaurus Funk” (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.

George Booth is a long-time cartoonist for The New Yorker. His illustrations have become an iconic feature of the magazine. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

4.0 out of 5 stars George has wiggled his way into our hearts
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020

George has a loving family who all talk to him. But he doesn't really listen, and does his own thing, in fact he has a secret his family doesn't quite know about. - actually, the only people who know are you, and him!

Honestly, when I first read this book, I would have given it 1 star. I was not impressed by the illustration and the simplicity seemed to be dull to my child and I. However, the more I read this book, the more it grows on me. I love George, he is a silly old dog with a peculiar personality that makes this book fun to read to my child. I have the opportunity to make voices and point to key elements in the illustration as we read, and am able to make this book interactive. It has become a bedtime & night time book that my son sleeps with.
I would recommend this book to any child who likes dogs, dancing, and who is learning to speak and any parent who is willing to read the same book over and over again. I hope George can make an appearance in some additional books someday.

As a dog lover I am always biased to any book about dogs but for some reason I just love reading this one to my baby. I think George just reminds me of our old grumpy old man family dog (RIP Simon). No matter how grumpy he seemed he still loved us and that is like George.

Now I wonder if Simon also used to get into antics while we were gone. Hmmmm.

This came in my monthly Amazon prime book box for my grandchild. It was damaged. This is the first time I was diapointed with my membership. Although minor if this happened in shipping I wonder if this batch of books will stand up to a toddler and if the were shipped this way that dispoints me even more. They porblaby would exchange them without question but not going to return this shipment. (I let my grandchild open box it would be like taking away a new toy) I will be paying closer attention to future shipments.
