About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small, unheard, or frustrated by a 'bossy' adult in their life. While most stories celebrate the grandparent bond, this classic takes a hilariously irreverent look at the one relative who is actually a bit of a nightmare. It provides a safe, cathartic outlet for a child's natural frustrations through the lens of extreme absurdity. George is a young boy left in the care of his mean, selfish Grandma. To get back at her, he mixes a 'medicine' from every household liquid he can find, leading to explosive and magical results. It is a wild, imaginative romp that validates a child's desire for agency. Parents should know it is pure slapstick fun, though it requires a quick chat about not trying these 'experiments' with real household chemicals.
