![]() ![]() Having instructed George on proper barking, she commands him to bark. Dogs are supposed to make an “arf” sound. She carefully tells him that dog’s do not make the meow sound, because that is the sound that cats make. The mother looks stunned at the puppy’s response. Unfortunately, the sound that comes out is not a dog’s sound. George tries with all of his might to bark. She decides that it is time to begin teaching George some lessons. George is a normal puppy living happily with his mother. The name of this witty book is “Bark, George.” Young children will relish the zany problems that the young puppy encounters and his mother’s attempts to solve these problems. Additionally, this picture book happens to be extremely funny. Jules Feiffer has created such a picture book. ![]() ![]() Though adults actually enjoy “reading” wordless and nearly wordless picture books, youngsters take great delight in these books. Since there are so few words in the story, the pictures must carry most of the action. Really outstanding picture books of this genre need to have fine plots. Wordless and nearly-wordless picture books need to have outstanding art to keep the attention of Kindergarteners. Harper Collins, New York, 1998, 32 pages, Grades preschool - 1. ![]()
