Loudmouth George Earns His Allowance

Loudmouth George, created by Nancy Carlson, is a favorite character for many young readers. In this story, summer vacation has started and his mother has assigned George one chore for each day of the week, but George has more interesting things to do instead. By week's end, George would like to go to a movie, but his mother says "no allowance until your chores are done!" George enlists his brothers to help do the chores, but they make such a mess that George has double the work, and then is too tired for a movie! This is a fun story, with a gentle lesson tucked in along the way.
