Overview

A gloriously funny cautionary tale from the multi-award winning Jeanne Willis. This is the tale of Georgie Grub who would not give himself a scrub. No matter how his mother tried when she said "Soap," he'd run and hide. But Georgie meets a gruesome end in this hilariously anarchic tale.

Reviews

'A hilarious and blithely grim cautionary tale. Willis' agile rhymes dance across the page.' --The Bookseller

`Vibrant illustrations full of colour, energy and life couple the text in an equally humorous way.' --EYE

`Ideal if you're looking for something a bit cheeky, a bit naughty, and lots of fun. Recommended.' --The Bookbag
