Format:Paperback
I remember my first year of primary school, my teacher read the class this book. After that i was hooked i went out and got my parents to buy me the book as soon as my teacher read the last few pages! Now being 17 im still fascinated at how thrilling and outrageous the book is but everytime i read it, it has me hooked till the last page. i recommend this book to any adult that has children or just to the adults themselves!

George's marvellous medicine book review.
George is a thrilling, wonderful boy who had to put up with a grumpy, old, lazy Grandma who always bosses him about.
He then had an amazing idea so he could get his own back!
He decided to make a marvellous medicine and it worked, but very weirdly!
Suddenly the old, lazy Grandma started screaming and steam came out of her waxy ears and then she shot up like a rocket into the air!
No wonder that happened after what George had put in.
He put in shampoo to pig pills, and nit cream to shoe polish!
Mr. Kranky is George's dad and he is sometimes off his head unlike his mum Mrs Kranky. She is quite strict but sometimes fun!
I think this story is a very fun one so I give it...

Format:Paperback
This world by the magnificent Roald Dahl is often overlooked but has to retain a place as one of my best loved books for children. It is a joy to read, and when I recently read it to a young reader the wicked wit and storytelling came back to me. It has the most marvellous images, perfect for all ages except the very young. A joy.

Goerge's Marvellous Medicine
Goerge's Marvellous Medicine is a good,interesting book for me as George makes his medicine without his Grandma noticing. He was very brave in that story. I love that book so much!
