MY REVIEW
There’s nothing quite as charming as a book written in a little boy’s voice. We get to see what he sees and feel what he’s feeling. And George is feeling embarrassed. He goes on to tell us about each family member and what they do that embarrasses him the most.
His dad goes outside in his underwear, his mom can’t cook well and often burns dinner, his sister Jenny takes selfies on her phone all the time, and little brother Teddy only wears costumes. Of course, these are all very real problems in many families and that’s what makes it so funny.
Poor little George keeps his head low. But then he starts to think of his friends and their embarrassing families. He comes to the conclusion that his family isn’t as weird as the other families. When they go to the open house at school his family does pretty well. But, will there be any embarrassing things?
I love how the author left us with a series of pictures that shows what happens next. The children are going to love this part and will have a blast describing the scene to the reader of the book. What a fun and familiar adventure!
ABOUT THE BOOK

Publisher’s Book Summary: Everyone in George’s family is so embarrassing. His mom can’t cook, his sister is constantly making kissy faces to her phone, and his brother’s wardrobe consists of nothing but costumes. To top it off, George’s dad is known for going outdoors in his underwear!
Will Family Night at school reveal all of their quirks?
Or will George want to hide under his desk to avoid them?
