Superb summary

Review third draft Manuel This story is about a boy called George that hated his granny. When George’s parents went away, the granny told him to do a lot of works, so he created a medicine... He was sure it would have a good effect on her,but that didn’t happen. She grew bigger and bigger,she liked that. When George’s father arrived,he told George to create another medicine but he didn’t remember what he put in it.If you want to know more, read it. I enjoyed this book because the author(Roald Dahl) is very creative to make George create a medicine and make the granny grow bigger. He did a very good job with the funny words and characters he invented. I recommend this book to jokers and creative persons because Roald Dahl makes a lot of creative settings,jokes, characters and make impossible things like animals talking,making animal larger and having bigger mouths.

Ha ha. I remember reading this book like 3 times 3 years ago. I was just so bored in class, and beneficially this book was short and entertaining.

lol lol

i love this book to

This story is about George and her very grumpy grandma that had to drink a medicine. George invented a medicine to make her granny less grumpy. This story takes place in George’s house. What would happen to grandma after she drank the medicine? Would she be less grumpy? I enjoyed this book because you can't stop reading it. My favourite part is when George puts all the elements into the medicine because he puts all the tube of toothpaste and food for dog into the incredible medicine so it is very funny. I recommend this story to any child that wants to discover new things and who is between nine and ten years old.

This story is about a boy called George who has a Grandmother and he has to give her a medicine so she stops shouting and grumbling. Many strange things happened. What do you think these strange things are? The funniest moment of the story is when Grandma is very small, very thin, very fat and very tiny. My favorite part is when all the animals are fat, thin and with the large neck. This book is just right for kids of 8 years or more because it is very entertaining and amusing and if you like strange things read this book!!!!

This story is about a grandma that was very grumpy with others so George prepared a fabulous medicine for grandma to be nicer with others.Mr Killy Kranky uses that excellent medicine for animals to be taller and bigger. The story takes place in George´s house. Do you think George´s medicine will work? I enjoyed this book because you can't stop reading it and because the author invented many difficult and strange words. My favorite part was when George tries the medicine with his grandma because grandma gets very funny after George gives her the invented medicine. I recommend this fantastic book to children that are eight years old or more. Do you think Mr Killy Kranky tries to build a large factory? Or a small house? Or a tiny school? Who is Mr Killy Kranky?
