More About This Title The Tale of Georgie Grub

English

A gloriously funny tale of warning from the award-winning Jeanne Willis This hilarious tale of Georgie Grub, a child who refuses to bathe himself much to the consternation of his poor mother, is sure to digust and delight children and adults alike. No matter how hard Georgie's mother tries to get him to wash, the moment she says "soap," the bad little hooligan runs and hides. However, when Georgie meets an amusingly gruesome end, it's his mother who gets the last laugh. This hilariously anarchic tale shows the unfortunate consequences that befall bad boys and girls who do not wash up.
