The thing about Jeanie the Meanie is that she would rather write on her shoe than help Georgie with their Abraham Lincoln project. The thing about Andy's nonna is that she kisses Georgie's cheeks and doesn't speak one word of English. The thing about Georgie's mom is that she's having a baby—a baby who will probably be taller than Georgie very, very soon. The thing about Georgie . . . well, what is the thing about Georgie? Average Rating:
 Rating: - Respecting DifferencesI recently purchased this book at a book fair and thought it sounded interesting. The topic matter, dwarfism, is not something seen in everyday children's fiction. I decided to read the book before putting it on the shelves...and I'm glad that I did! The story centers are George Washington...no, not the president. George Washington is the protagonist of the story. He's four foot tall and endures sitting in front of Jeanie the Meany on a daily basis. His life gets worse when his parents ...

To top it all off Georgie is a dwarf! A first time author Lisa Graff has only one other book out, "The Life and Times of Burnet Wallflower." When I read this book I was right ...

To make things worse, Georgie and his friend (Andy) get into a fight. Georgie thinks that nothing can get worse but some how or rather it does. How will Georgie's life get better? Also in the beginning of some chapters Lisa Graff asks you favors so you can understand about what dwarves can and can't do. Do you want to ...

It has sparked some very thoughtful discussion. I enthusiastically recommend it!! Rating: - The thing about this story is that it pulls at your heart.The thing about Georgie is that he is one of the most endearing characters you'll ever meet. He's got the normal problems of a boy growing up: jealousy when his best friend befriends another boy and wants to include the new best friend in the dog-walking business that Georgie masterminded; the worry that his parents will like the new baby they're expecting better than they like him; and being assigned to a project in school with the meanest and most non-participatory student in class--Meanie Jeannie.
