Bark, George-Jules Feiffer August 20, 2007
George is a dog with a problem. “George’s mother said: ‘Bark George’. George went: ‘Meow.’” George’s increasingly frustrated Mother keeps “encouraging” George to bark, but the results produce anything but an arf. Time to dust off the Health Net card and take the misvoiced dog to the doctor, er, vet. After some pretty invasive “surgery” (Dr. R., please don’t get any ideas.), George is cured. Did I say cured? Hmm. Bark, George is written by Jules Feiffer and is a great book to read to students, but in my James Bond super-spy mode, I’ve overheard students reading it to themselves with some rather realistic quacks and oinks and, no surprise here, giggles.
