George's Marvellous Medicine
A picture of George (from George's Marvellous Medicine) and the gigantic chicken by Kiran Photograph: Children's books

I liked George's Marvellous Medicine because it was very, very funny. One of the bits l liked most was when George invented his marvellous medicine. He put very strange things inside it, like pig medicine, bath bubbles and other things from the house.

It was very funny when George's grandmother tried it, at first she said "Oweeeee!" then "Fire!" and then she asked George to call the firemen. Then she started growing and growing until she touched the roof of the room. Then she asked for more, and when George gave her some more, she grew and crashed through all the roofs of the house. Wow!

Then he tried it on the animals and it worked on all the animals in the field. But then he did one chicken but there was no more for the other chickens.

I enjoyed the book because it made me laugh. It also made me want to make my own medicine. So I made "My Marvellous Medicine Salad". When my mother, my father and I tried it, it was at first quite nice, but then it was really strong so we drank some water.

It cooled my parents down, but not me, so I had to drink some milk, and that worked.

My picture is of George and the gigantic chicken.
