GEORGE

by Agnes Sligh Turnbull ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1965

A bespectacled bunny turns up one day in the midst of the Weaver household to straighten out a few problems. George is an understanding companion for Mrs. W., but his major concern is the children, Milly and Tommy. Under his guidance the two increase their vocabularies with modicum, congenial, gratified and unique. Among their etiquette lessons, Tommy is taught to seat his mother at dinner. Their arithmetic is improved after George's rather irrelevant coaching. And at one point the rabbit (actually a descendant of a Belgian hare) saves Tommy from being run over by a car. This furry, Mary Poppins type really seems a bit of a prig, quite unimaginative as talking rabbits go. The author is best-known for her many popular adult novels.
