George's facial expressions (for instance, a subtle positioning of his ears) and body language (a paw gently offering his favourite rubber ducks as an apology) are full of humour,and will prompt young readers to delve in and pick out all the funny details in the pictures. This book follows the moral dilemma's of George the dog who 'hopes' he'll be good whilst his owner is out. which is a brilliant opportunity to stop and discuss what George should do, why he should be good etc. Set to a gorgeously rich colour palette of purples, orange and deep crimson, this is a delightfully playful tale with minimal text but oodles of personality that shows how the best intentions can go awry. I bought this on the strength of the recommendations for my two year old granddaughter who loves books.Chris Haughton is the author-illustrator of Little Owl Lost , his debut picture book, which won the 2011 Marion Vannett Ridgway Award. When they subsequently go out for a walk, George stops himself from chomping on the cake (that is part of someone’s picnic), stops himself from chasing a cat (who is surprised), and stops himself from digging.

This illustrations are simple but "funny as all get out", and I fell I love with the expressions on George's face!Bold, hilarious artwork captures the innocent charm of affable George, a dog who is trying to be good — with disastrous results.
