The thing about poodles is that Georgie Bishop hates to walk them.

The thing about Jeanie the Meanie is that she would rather write on her shoe than help Georgie with their Abraham Lincoln project.

The thing about Georgie's mom is that she's having a baby—a baby who will probably be taller than Georgie very, very soon.

The thing about Georgie . . . well, what is the thing about Georgie?

This great book keeps on moving with exciting events. Georgie is short. He can’t do many things. Jeanie signed him up for the president play without telling him. Something bad happened with his friend. He is bullied by Jeanie. When he is having trouble, he tries to be patient or he tries to do something that makes it better. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn’t. He also becomes a big brother. The book keeps on moving: One thing happens, and then another happens, but then it’s all connected. I like that it has many details describing each character. I think this book is complete with details. I have read it so many times that I memorized certain parts, such as: “Because the thing was, Georgie Bishop was a dwarf.” Also, wherever I go, I think about the book. For example, when I go to camp, I think of Georgie going to school. You should read the book. If you start, you will keep going! You might think a lot about Georgie like I do.

I love this book especially chapter 21 and afterward. Good book to start of or end the year with.

Good book to start the school year off with!

I love this book. Georgie has such a good friend like how i do. I thought the book was funny but sometimes a little serious. It was all pretty strait forward so you really get that Georgie is a dwarf when the author describes how he couldn't really get things and ect.

The book was really good it is pretty funny but the book was a little hard to understand i was suprised georgie was a dwarf
