Write-Up Regarding Books George's Marvellous Medicine

I am currently trying to read all of Roald Dahl's books since he is such a phenomenal writer. This book was no exception. It was creative and mystifying. The concept was unique and very captivating and the book left me with wanting to read more. George's grandma bosses him around. George can't stand his grandmother and how she always treats him badly, so he decided to make a magic medicine to replace his grandma's normal medicine. He goes around his home and collects a variety of ingredients

i like the fact that the grandma in the story is old and grumpy but my grandma (i call her nanny) is only something like forty something

Published: 1981Author: Roald DahlRecommended for: children and pretty much everybodyThis is one of the absolute classic childrens books by the wonderfully talented Roald Dahl and teamed up with the outstanding Quentin Blake for the illustrations. This book features George Kranky who ends up taking care of his Grandma who is possibly one of the most selfish people in his life, so when George gets a change to makes up his Grandma's medicine it is his turn to try and get the poisionous attitude out

George's Marvellous Medicine = George's Marvelous Medicine, Roald DahlGeorge's Marvellous Medicine is a book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. First published in 1981. It is one of Dahl's shorter children's books. While 8-year-old George's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kranky, are out running going shopping, George's maternal grandmother bosses him around and bullies him. She scares George by saying that she likes to eat insects and he wonders briefly if she's a witch. To punish

I rather sympathized with little George, a basically good, polite, and obedient boy who does his best to please his fickle and ill-tempered granny, to no avail. If I could get away with dosing my nearest but not-dearest with a dollop of George's Marvelous Medicine -- well, I better take the Fifth on that topic. My attitude probably will not reassure adults who fret that undiscerning young readers may be inspired to emulate George's Graham Young ways, but this book is so crazy that I wouldn't be

I dont remember much about Georges Marvellous Medicine from when I read it as a kid except that I didnt love it. So I was curious to find out exactly why I thought that and whether the book might be better now that Im older and (barely) wiser.Well: I think Georges Marvellous Medicine might be Roald Dahls worst book! George has a hateful grandma whom he decides to teach a lesson by mixing together various ingredients and giving it to her, pretending its her medicine. Something silly happens to

The funniest thing about this book is the dedication page. "This book is for doctors everywhere." Ha! Roald Dahl was such a cheeky devil. George is stuck at home alone with his mean, scary, and very demanding grandma. He's supposed to give her medicine at eleven o'clock. Instead of giving her the usual medicine, he concocts a replacement batch, hoping it will improve Grandma's disposition. To create his "Marvelous Medicine," George throws in absolutely everything he can find around the house.
