George likes to please his mother, but when she tells him to bark he says "meow" and "quack-quack" and "oink" and "moo" - until she takes him to the vet, who finally figures out what's going on with George. Or does he? Children will roar with laughter at this funny, silly story, told by the master of foolishness and farce, Jules Feiffer. Narrated by John Lithgow. Directed by Gene Deitch.
Reviews:
School Library Journal, Video of the Week: “…a short video that will delight young audiences, and fit in nicely with animal or pet units.”
Catholic Library World: “Youngsters will delight in the hilarious sounds emanating from George’s throat, in George’s mother’s exaggerated display of her emotions, and in the vet’s deep explorations of George’s dark insides….This is a truly funny video. It will entertain young children over and over again.”
