George's Marvelous Medicine


If you were making a marvelous medicine, what would you put in it?

Gabe (6): "I would put in everything I could find, even the oil from the candle. I would blow it out and pour that in."

Julia (8): "I would put in crushed up crayons, feathers from my pillow, and everything else I could find."


Mom's notes: I vaguely remember hearing this read aloud by a teacher, so I chose it for our next book. Dahl's humor can be a little dark at times, but it's so obscure and ridiculous that it really can't do any harm!
