review 1: We read Oh No George by Chris Haughton in a PGCE English lesson and we all loved the rhythmic writing and the repetition used in the story. It was a really fun read that I hope I can enjoy reading to my own KS1 class.The book tells the story of a dog named George who continually disobeys his owner Harris who asked him to be good before he left him on his own for the day. Seeing cake in the kitchen, ‘George thinks, but I LOVE cake. What will George do?’ Inevitably George consumes the entire cake and the book continues with the scenarios of George seeing a cat and lovely soil. The repetition of ‘what will George do?’ at the end of each situation could be read and enjoyed by the children as they famililarise themselves with the story, making it a good inclusive ... moreclass book.Harris is home, ‘George what have you done?’ You’ve RUINED the place …’ With poor George in tears, Harris suggests a walk and George is soon faced once again with tempting situations; seeing a cake, lovely soil and a cat. It appears Harris’s words of upset at George's unruly behaviour have influenced George’s decisions, that is until George smells a bin!Overall this is a nice paced story with beautifully vibrant illustrations that can be enjoyed by teachers, parents and children alike.
review 2: Harry leaves George home alone. Will George be good? I don't think so!This story can be used for many different things, it can be used to talk to students about their behavior and following directions. It asks questions every other page students can answer to make predictions about what will happen next. It also can be used to show questions, explanations, and regular statements with their proper punctuations. less
