I made this flannel years ago and often forget I have it because I really love reading the book so much. But I got it out this week for a Dog-themed storytime and realized how much I like it!
Bark, George by Jules Feiffer is a simple, but silly, story that’s super easy to memorize. Here’s George; I made him by photocopying and enlarging an image of George from the book, cutting it out and sticking it on felt, and tracing.
I also color photocopied a picture of the doctor; cut him out and covered him with contact paper. A piece of felt is stuck to the back:
Finally, I made tiny felt animals that I pull out of George:
George is actually 2 layers of felt; the second layer is glued on around the edges but there are openings at his mouth (to pull the animals out) and along his back (to put them in):
I adore this story; I have entertained family members by reciting it to them in the car. Who wouldn’t love George?
