Oh No, George!. Chris Haughton (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Oh No, George! is a laugh-out-loud story about a dog who gets into trouble while his owner Harry is out, when Harry takes George for a walk he finally practices some self control…well, maybe? Young readers will enjoy being asked “What will George do?” and the participatory response “Oh no, George!” as George gets into more mischief. The saturated digital media illustrations are simple, bright, and funny; and portray George’s lovable and innocent demeanor perfectly. This amusing story will help teach toddlers about following rules and self-control and would be a fun read-aloud or storytime pick. George tries to be good when his owner leaves, he really does! But the cake and the dirt and the cat are just too tempting! He cleans up his act, though, and apologizes to his owner. Can he resist the same temptations when he goes on a walk?Super-saturated color block illustrations make this book a joy to look at (and make it look a tad bit trendy). The pictures are nice and big, too.This book has a fun, interactive element and repetition that would make it fun to read aloud to littlies.
