About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a case of the green-eyed monster or feels overshadowed by a friend's recent success. It is a perfect choice for navigating those tricky moments when a child wants to be happy for a peer but can't help feeling a little bit jealous or left behind. In this eleventh installment of the George Brown, Class Clown series, George deals with the 'Super Burp' while his best friend Alex gains local fame for breaking a world record. The story humorously explores the tension between personal embarrassment and friendship loyalty. It is ideal for elementary students who are beginning to navigate more complex social hierarchies at school. Parents will appreciate how it models the process of moving from self-centeredness to genuine support, all wrapped in a silly, high-interest package that keeps reluctant readers engaged.
