Oh No, GEORGE! - Funny Dog Story for Kids
About this Story
“Choices, Temptation, Consequences”
“Oh No, George!” is basically the story of every pet owner’s worst nightmare come to life! 🐕 My friend’s toddler demands this one nightly, and I completely understand why. Chris Haughton created something that speaks to anyone who’s ever left their dog home alone and wondered…what could go wrong?
George is a gigantic, magenta dog with a purple snout and huge, expressive eyes. He genuinely wants to follow the rules when owner Harry leaves him home. But then George spots a delicious cake sitting on the counter, and well… you can guess what happens next 🍰
Haughton’s retro-styled illustrations are absolutely gorgeous - think mid-century modern meets children’s book perfection. Howlingly funny, its luridly elegant illustrations will be in frequent demand; ideal for parents and grandparents to read aloud according to reviewers.
What makes this different from other “naughty pet” books is how relatable George feels. By now, George has demolished the cake, chased the cat, dug in the flowerpot and generally trashed his home - basically every dog owner’s lived experience right there!
The genius is in the repetitive “Oh no, George!” refrain that kids absolutely love shouting along with. It was even Nominated for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and multiple other awards.
Perfect for ages 2-6, especially kids going through their own “impulse control” learning phases. The board book version has rounded edges and thick pages that survive toddler handling beautifully. You can snag your copy at or check out the rave reviews on Goodreads where parents share their own “George moments” with their pets! 🐾
