Explanation In Favor Of Books Bark, George
I occasionally find myself reading children's books to large gatherings of toddlers, moms and nannies. Life is odd, no? Madly trying to find something I had not read a hundred times before, I tried out this one and it was a smash hit. It is fairly short, so if you are doing a story time you might want to save it for near the end, when their little toddler attention spans have gotten to the "I'm gonna go crazy now, and throw these goldfish snacks around" stage. I recommend, as always, using silly voices. The story is, at first, familiar - even to a two-year-old. It's basically the old this animal does not make that sound gag that kids never seem to get tired of. Ah, but there's a catch! A trip to the vet's reveals why our eponymous canine hero has been mooing and clucking! If that were not enough to tickle the funny bones of the tiny tykes, well then there is a joke ending that will distract the little goldfish-snack-chuckers for a few seconds.And really, what more can you ask for?

This book by far, has been my favorite book since childhood! I like how his mom tells him to bark and he does all types of animal sounds except for "arf" and how after a while she took him to the doctor. The ending of this book is unique, the doctor opens Georges mouth to check him, and it turns out there are other animals inside and this is the cause of George making different sounds. At the end, when the mom and doctor think George is fine now, the doctor tells George to bark and he saysThis is one of my go to books for story time. Kids love this book, and I always have them act the book out with me. If you ever need a smile, read it. Over and over and over.......
Bark, George, says Georges mother. Unfortunately, George makes everyone sound but a proper doggy Arf. He meows, moos, and oinks, but he just cant seem to bark. So his mother takes him to the vet. When George meows instead of barking, the vet reaches inside Georges mouth and pulls out a live cat! Finally, after pulling out a duck, a pig, and a cow, George is able to bark. Walking home, his mother proudly says, Bark, George. George says: Hello.The text is concise and full of dialogue, which makes
This is probably my favorite storytime book. I could read it in a boring monotone, and kids would still love it. It's a masterful combination of elements: adorable illustrations, easily recognizable animal sounds, a genuinely funny story, and a tone that is both irreverent and unobjectionable. Just awesome.
First and second graders love this book. It is too cute. They think they know how it ends and get a surprise.
A now classic told and illustrated by the classic Jules Feiffer, with great illustrations and a funny take on the somewhat familiar story of an animal or animals who for some reason do not make the sounds they are supposed to make. This one is for younguns, obviously but if you like Feiffer as I do, it is better than a lot of kid stuff because it has a little edge to it. A couple surprises in it.
Absolutely the best book to read at a story time for almost anyone. Funny, animal noises, silly, and a "what happens next?" kind of ending. I took it to read to a kindergarten class once, and I had to read it three times before they'd let me move on to something else!I read it at least 4 times per year at different storytimes and outreach, so I don't put every read date in!
