Summary
Bark, George by Jules Fieffer
George is a puppy with a problem. His mother wants him to speak, but every time he tries, he sounds like a different animal. First George sounds like a cat, then a duck, then a pig, and a cow! Students will laugh out loud as they learn to identify key story elements, use picture clues to make inferences, retell the plot, and make predictions about how George’s problem could be resolved.
