George's Marvelous Medicine is an amazing book by one of my favorite authors, Roald Dahl. George has to stay home with his grouchy grandma who is not very nice to him. Instead of giving her her normal medicine at 11:00 he concocts his own medicine. This new medicine does some crazy things to grandma and the farm animals George gives it to. Roald Dahl is a very talented author. I think this book would be perfect for children who are just getting to the age to read chapter books. It is a pretty easy read for children and I think they would find it quite funny. I actually found the book quite interesting. It is the kind of book that you don't want to put down because you just want to see what is going to happen next. Along with the text the author also adds pictures to the story. The pictures are very simple, but also detailed at the same time. I think this is a really cool part of the book because not all chapter books include pictures and they style of the pictures was really different and unique. Also, the pictures are very humerous as they show all of the different things things that happen when George gives out his medicine. This book was really fun to read and brought back a lot of childhood memories of reading it.
