Today I started my adventure into the world of children’s literature and I’m beginning with Roald Dahl。I never read this as a child (from what I can remember) but my husband recommended this for my first read because he loved it as a child。 Tells you a lot about how mischievous he was as a kid 😂… George is fed up of his miserable Grandma bossing him about so he decides to conjure up a unique medicine that’ll teach her a lesson。 It’s wonderfully weird in the unique Dahl way … lots of fun and a li Today I started my adventure into the world of children’s literature and I’m beginning with Roald Dahl。I never read this as a child (from what I can remember) but my husband recommended this for my first read because he loved it as a child。 Tells you a lot about how mischievous he was as a kid 😂… George is fed up of his miserable Grandma bossing him about so he decides to conjure up a unique medicine that’ll teach her a lesson。 It’s wonderfully weird in the unique Dahl way … lots of fun and a little bit disgusting, that’s why my husband loves it 😂 A really quick read I polished this off in an hour … great for little ones as always with Dahl books 😆 。。。more

What a gas。

Claudia Sinclair

this little treasure had ten year old Claudia positively furious that she had such exquisite and doting grandparents, for she, too, wondered how good a laugh it would be to put a rocket under an unsuspecting Grandmother’s arm chair。

I love the book because it is very funny

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 The scrawny old, vicious gramma completely puffed out of existence, problematic that she was。 We can only wish, that all our problems vanished just the same。。。

Alexandra

Whacky and gruesome - just the way Roald Dahl liked it!!

Heidi

Horribly marvelous。 Throw it all in!!

2/10what was this? definitely not for children

Ann

This kids’ book starts with a warning to not do anything in the book。 Then, gives you100 examples of things not to do。 It’s super nuts! Ronald Dahl is a sick dude。

Alexis Chute

I read this book to my six-year-old and he said, “I loved it,” and we both agreed on 4/5 stars。

Jorge está encargado de darle la medicina a su abuela, pero para que deje de ser tan gruñona, se le pongan los dientes blancos y demás defectos que tiene su abuela, Jorge decide prepararle una medicina especial ¡Tiene de todo! ¡Lo más probable es que explote!Me ha gustado。 Es una lectura rápida, amena y divertida para pasar el rato。 Algunos podemos vernos identificados porque por mi parte, cuando era pequeña me colocaba hacer pociones y utilizaba lo que tenía a la mano, claro nunca esa cantidad Jorge está encargado de darle la medicina a su abuela, pero para que deje de ser tan gruñona, se le pongan los dientes blancos y demás defectos que tiene su abuela, Jorge decide prepararle una medicina especial ¡Tiene de todo! ¡Lo más probable es que explote!Me ha gustado。 Es una lectura rápida, amena y divertida para pasar el rato。 Algunos podemos vernos identificados porque por mi parte, cuando era pequeña me colocaba hacer pociones y utilizaba lo que tenía a la mano, claro nunca esa cantidad y las barbaridades que cogia Jorge y mucho menos para tomarla, pero sin duda nos hace viajar a la niñez。¡No intenten en casa! 。。。more

I am cleaning out shelves and shelves of old books, which would make the sudden barrage of book reviews of children books make more sense。 That aside, I feel that this book is funny, but rather than George’s Marvellous Medicine, should be renamed as “How to Kill your Nasty Grandma 101”…。

Wow。 What a weird little story。 When I finished it I honestly thought some pages may have fell out and I was missing something。 Just another testament to the fact that, while still very fun books to read, I don't think Roald Dahl would have a chance of getting the same kind of stuff published in 2022。 Wow。 What a weird little story。 When I finished it I honestly thought some pages may have fell out and I was missing something。 Just another testament to the fact that, while still very fun books to read, I don't think Roald Dahl would have a chance of getting the same kind of stuff published in 2022。 。。。more

A mini book

Richard Huysers

my son enjoyed it My son loved the book because of the basic illustrations and his first book not many pictures in。 He was also intrigued by how small the grandma got in the end。

No suelo leer literatura infantil asi que este no es un genero al que esté acostumbrado y por tanto no puedo comparar la obra con la media del genero。 Mi opinión es que es un cuento divertido, muy gamberro y nada edulcorado。 El experimento de Jorge con su insufrible y malevola abuela recuerda a todas las maldades que nos hubiera gustado hacer a esos familiares chungos que todos hemos tenido y que nos hacian la infancia más triste。 Tambien destacaría como mantiene Dhal la intriga del momento cruc No suelo leer literatura infantil asi que este no es un genero al que esté acostumbrado y por tanto no puedo comparar la obra con la media del genero。 Mi opinión es que es un cuento divertido, muy gamberro y nada edulcorado。 El experimento de Jorge con su insufrible y malevola abuela recuerda a todas las maldades que nos hubiera gustado hacer a esos familiares chungos que todos hemos tenido y que nos hacian la infancia más triste。 Tambien destacaría como mantiene Dhal la intriga del momento crucial del cuento y como recompensa esa sensación con el resultado de la travesura de Jorge ramificando las consecuencias a la granja de sus padres y las ambiciones de su progenitor alejandose de visiones edulcoradas de familias en las que todos se quieren mucho。Finalmente, me han gustado mucho las ilustraciones de Quentin Blake que acompañan la narración en algunos momentos de manera muy integrada como cuando el texto y las ilustraciones se fusionan para narrar un momento。 El aparentemente sencillo estilo de Blake esconde un dominio del diseño y la poderosa narrativa de sus ilustraciones en la que te puedes perder también un buen rato。 。。。more
