| George's Marvelous Medicine / Roald Dahl : 3 of 5 | |

 Another Roald Dahl tale (and another inexpensive book I purchased to get free Amazon shipping for Christmas gifts) about a young boy and a crabby adult, but this one has some funnier than usual scenes! The first part of the book is about young George and his cranky old grandma - he decides to make her a new medicine to teach her a lesson, so he proceeds to combine nearly every household item you can think of into a boiling pot. The results are hilarious, since he ends up making a "growing" medicine that turns his grandma into a skinny giant! The second part of the story involves George's dad, who wants to become rich by making huge farm animals, so they try again and again to come up with the same formula. The failures are really imaginative, and I was pretty surprised to find out what happened to grandma when she tries another mixture! Unfortunately, the story ends abruptly, but it's still a satisfying and fun book.Labels: books |
