Kindergarten-Grade 3–This family story packs a humorous punch. Big George's five sons–all named George–agree to help their mother get ready for their father's birthday party. As if a house with five boys weren't chaotic enough, five boys with the same name as Dad's make for a comedy of errors. As the children rush to open each of three deliveries, eager to present their father with their gifts, they find a package of diapers for Baby George; a carton of dog food for bulldog George; and a pet bird, which Big George names–you guessed it. You can never have too many Georges. At the party, one of them tells his dad, Remember, any time you need help–Let George do it! The watercolor, cartoon illustrations are hilarious, from the shirtless, skinny teen making muscles in the bathroom mirror to the mischievous baby tweaking his brother's nose and flinging food. Framed portraits in every room depict other famous Georges, including Carver, Orwell, and our first President. The whole family looks so happy and congenial that readers will want to visit with them again and again–or maybe change their own names.–Barbara Auerbach, New York City Public Schools
