Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte. But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part . . . because she's a boy. With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. Not just so she can be Charlotte -- but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all.

Review of 'George' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I played this short audiobook on double speed as I got ready for work, and on my commute there. This was a mistake, as both the humor and emotions this book evoked were very hard to contain while on the bus and in the breakroom. I had to contain my laughter and my urge to cry on more than one occasion that day, but I couldn't contain my smiles, which this book doled out in droves.



The fact that this book exists for young children is a blessing, and I know many people who would have benefited from it years ago. Thank God it exists now.
