the First Day At A New School Is Always The Hardest, Right? No, Not Always As George Finds Out The Hard Way. On The Second Day At . . . Sugarman Elementary School, He Is Suddenly Seized By Uncontrollable Burps, Burps So Loud They Practically Break The Sound Barrier, Burps That Make Him Do Wild And Crazy Stuff And Land Him In Trouble With A Capital T. One Thing Is For Sure: These Are Not Normal Burps, They Are Magic Burps û And They Must Be Stopped! But How?

kicking Off The George Brown, Class Clown Series (a Spinoff Of Krulik’s Katie Kazoo Series), This Goofy Caper Centers On Goodhearted But Troublemaking George, A Fourth Grader Whose Mission–to Go From Being The Funny Kid Who Does Dumb Stuff That Got Him Into Trouble To The New, Improved, Raise-your-hand George–seems Doomed To Fail. His Campaign Gets Off To A Rocky Start: His Classmates Crack Up When He Falls On His Butt While Square Dancing In Gym Class And When Pepper Makes Him Sneeze Ropes Of Snot At Lunch. Things Go Further Awry When George Begins To Burp Uncontrollably–enormous Belches That Compel Him To Misbehave. One Magic Super Burp Drives Him To Juggle Eggs That Smash Onto The Classroom Floor; Another Entices Him To Ride His Skateboard Into The Art Room, Where He Crashes Into A Pail Of Icky, Sticky, Papier-mâché Goo. Krulik Serves Up Kid-pleasing Slapstick And Doesn’t Resolve The Burping Dilemma, Leaving Plenty Of Opportunity For Further Class Clowning. Final Art Not Seen By Pw. Also Available: Trouble Magnet. Ages 7-9. (july)
