Book Reviews of Bark, George
Book Review: Cute story but . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
The story is really cute, and the illustrations are funny even of mother dog's expressions of concern. It has an ending I didn't expect and it was not predictable; a pleasant surprise. But,why would anyone write an amusing story like this one and deliberately misuse the English language? George and mother misuse the words "go" and "went" throughout the book. George "went" nine times in the book and really didn't go anywhere; he just sat there trying to bark. The usage of the word "go" by the mother is equally disturbing. For example the mother dog says: "Cats go meow" and "Dogs go arf." What ever happened to the words "said" or even better "replied"? The English language takes a beating in everyday usage. At least the written word for children should be correct. I'm sure my grandchildren will find this book funny for it is a happy story. I would not have purchased this book had I known of the English faux pas.
