An Award-Winning Picture Book About a Dog Who Can't Bark
by Jules Feiffer
From acclaimed author-illustrator Jules Feiffer, Bark, George is a hilarious, subversive story about a dog who can't ... bark!
This picture book geared for the youngest readers is perfect for those who love Mo Willems's Pigeon series.
When George's mother tells her son to bark, George goes "Meow," which definitely isn't right because George is a dog. When she asks him again, he goes "Oink." What's going on with George? Readers will delight at the surprise ending!
"Oh, the expression Feiffer manages to coax out of a few keen strokes. His characters are unforgettable, and the pictures burst with the sort of broad physical comedy that children just love." —Booklist (starred review)
