Can't You Make Them Behave, King George?

My daughter was assigned this book as one of her summer reading books. (She is in fourth grade.) She read through it rather quick so it seems good for her age group. This book takes a humorous approach to the historical facts, and the picture emphasize this. The book also speaks about King George as a child so the kids can relate.The Illustrations are definitely a plus and I overheard her explaining something funny in the book to her cousin, a sure sign of liking a book...I would recommend it to any kid around a 3rd grade reading level or above, especially if they have any interest in history. It is not overflowing with facts, so it may not be good for a report, but rather as a non-fiction reading book.

We used this book as part of our homeschool history lessons. It held all the kids' attention and they loved it. It is the American Revolution from the perspective of King George. It is a fairly quick read. The pictures are really comical, almost caricatures. My homeschooled kids who enjoyed this book are 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 years old.

My son had a book report on historical fiction and this book kept his attention.

Funny book. My second grader enjoyed reading it out loud to me and needed minimal help.

Jean Fritz has done an excellent job once again of bringing historical characters to life! Great reading for any elementary student learning about America's Revolutionary War!

Most of our students know little about George III, so this is a valuable book in this set of unrevised history books. Students love this one!

Great book!

Great story telling for my son... Fritz's books make learning history fun! We have already ordered 2 more and surely will enjoy just as much!
