Rating:  - Let's Joke About it!
My 3 year old daughter loved this book when we got it from the library. She laughed out loud at all the boys being named George. This book gave us the idea to start mixing up names, then words, and letting her correct us or use her imagination to suggest other possibilities. Now this has carried over to many other books. My daughter already loves books, but I would think this would help make reading fun for many other children, too. As she says, "Let's joke about it."
Rating:  - Cute book, but
it's very redundant. Not much of a story. My kids read it once and haven't picked it up again.
Rating: - Delightful
Teaming Big George with the deft and funny hand of Ms. Manushkin was inspired. For once celeb book that's actually funny and worth a spot on the shelf. Clever, jolly, and something kids actually like!

At last, a celeb book with a true sense of humor. I'm as tired of celeb publishing as the next one, but this book made me laugh out loud, and kids "get" the joke of all those Georges running around getting things
done - and redone (the baby keeps getting bathed). It would take a real
Scrooge to downplay this delightful romp, with its funny text and
hilarious illustrations..
Rating: - A clever, amusing, and charming book
Foreman's been a world champ and he's lent his name to a successful line of grills. He's also lent (actually given) his name to a successful line of sons. I'm sure that Fran Manushkin, a children's book author with her own successful line of books and whose name you find on the title page and back flap, had more to do with writing this book than the boxing champ, but nonetheless, in one way or another, they've concocted a terrific story about a bizarre family of father and sons with the name George. ...
