From the bestselling author of Fancy Nancy comes a book about George, a little boy who is always eager to help!

From the bestselling duo Jane O'Connor and Andrew Joyner comes a story about George, who is a very helpful boy. He feeds his dog, Pogo, and helps around the house. It's no surprise everyone's always saying, "Good job, George!" When his parents decide to paint a room in their house, he knows it is the perfect job for him. But the painting doesn't go as planned for George, when a very hungry Pogo has different plans.

Good Job, George is perfect for little helpers; whether they're in the classroom or in the house, children and adults alike will find George endearing and relatable.

"With warmhearted cartooning and winks at everyday domestic comedy... O’Connor (the Fancy Nancy series) and Joyner (Love Was Inside) ground their story in a loving environment and reassure readers that praise isn’t empty words; on the contrary, positive reinforcement can help kids strive to be their best selves."--Publishers Weekly
