I love it because Ordinary George got the big prize. I also like it because it is funny - he did a funny act. I would recommend this story.

My most favourite character in the book is daisy. I would recommend this book to anyone else because it is about George’s family has a talent but it is only George who has no talents .

The Extreme family are special: all of them except George hold records like invention of the first ever time machine or longest nose hair. George is trying to find his special talent and finds he is good at multitasking...

George was my favourite character. I liked this book because there was a talent show won by George

George wanted to go into the talent show. He tried to do lots of things. The first thing that George couldn’t do was play the trumpet. And he couldn’t jump through a hoop. He couldn’t dance the Can Can. He’d wished his earlobes reached down to his toes! And he said he wanted to go to the moon in his pajamas. He wished he had a pizza as big as his house! He wanted to be the world’s greatest kazoo player, but he wasn’t. When he was trying to throw the pineapple to Daisy it bounced on the dog’s head! George our marshmallows on his face, pineapples on his feet, made balloon animals and sang a space sing about planets. And he won a prize at the talent show.

I wouldn't read it again.

I liked this book. It is a fiction book. It was good because George found out that he did have a special skill like the rest of his family. George could make people laugh. I also thought it was funny that there was a dancing dog that had a fancy hat.

Just because one time you are ordinary does not mean you will always be ordinary. I liked George and his dog in the book. I do recommend others to read this book.
Duchess July O’Doughnut 11.08.2020
I like ordinary George.
Principal Venus Jellybaby 15.07.2020
Everyone in George's family is extraordinary except him. George has a very good idea for the school talent show.
Officer Mildred Bumblebee 07.10.2019
I liked the book because George won the competition. I felt happy he found something he is good at. It is funny.
Esquire Tyler Sequins 27.07.2019
