He feeds his dog, Pogo, and helps around the house. It's no surprise everyone's always saying, "Good job, George!" When his parents decide to paint a room in their house, he knows it is the perfect job for him. But the painting doesn't go as planned for George, when a very hungry Pogo has different plans.Good Job, George is perfect for little helpers; whether they're in the classroom or in the house, children and adults alike will find George endearing and relatable.From School Library JournalPreS-K-The author of the extremely popular "Fancy Nancy" series introduces readers to a delightful new character in this charming book. George, a mixed-race boy with tan skin and black hair, narrates. He delights in helping out. He buckles the straps in his stroller; feeds the family dog, Pogo; and shares his sandbox toys with a younger child. When he completes a small task or takes a risk, such as coming down the slide by himself, his parents always say, "Good job, George!" Things unfortunately go awry when George helps finish painting a room and realizes that he does not quite always do the right thing. All is well in the end, however, when George helps give Pogo a bath and earns another hearty "Good job, George!" Joyner's colorful and expressive illustrations echo the style of the original Curious George books by H. A. Rey. A scene at a playground features a multiethnic crowd of adults and children.
