About this listen

 Laura is amazed when her baby brother George starts talking to her when he's only four weeks old, particularly as he sounds like a grown-up! It's a big secret to keep from their parents and the rest of the family and leads to all sorts of comic confusion until George's first birthday – when he makes a speech to his startled family.©1988 Dick King-Smith (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Chapter Books & Readers Literature & Fiction Witty Funny

Critic reviews

"[A] whimsical account of a child prodigy... Good choice." (

Kirkus Reviews)
"Beginning readers will eat it up." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Laced with delightfully dry humour, a hint of cynicism, and subtle pokes at the silly ways adults behave around infants." ( Booklist)
