George's Marvellous Medicine is a great and exciting book focusing on George making medicine for his Grandma. He used very bad ingredients (which I'm here to say DO NOT MAKE GEORGE'S MEDICINE, IT COULD BE DANGEROUS) and that statement is in the book as well.
The best character is Grandma. She's a wicked person who wants to (sort of) frighten George, and George never liked her. She's a little nasty to him, and makes him do all of the stuff around the house. But when his parents are home, she never makes him do anything.
The best part of the story is when George gives Grandma the medicine. The results were "worth waiting for." Another good part was when Grandma starting to grow. One point she was taller than the house, then later on she shrunk and disappeared.
Overall excellent story. Highly recommend.

"He wasn’t going to fool about wondering whether to put in a little bit of this or a little bit of that. Quite simply, he was going to put in EVERYTHING he could find. There would be no messing about, no hesitating, no wondering whether a particular thing would knock the old girl sideways or not. The rule would be this: whatever he saw, if it was runny or powdery or gooey, in it went. Nobody had ever made a medicine like that before."
For an adult, the thrill isn't quite there, but I read the whole thing on one train journey and it was as good a way as any of forgetting where I was till my station showed up. Childish delight throughout - delight in words, and language, and absurd situations. Worth a look.
PS - to those wondering whether this is appropriate for children, it's exactly the same as a Looney Tunes cartoon for me. Outrageous slapstick that'll get them laughing.

My 5 year old giggled with delight as the narrator egged George on as he adds more and more wacky things to his grandma's new medicine ("Horseradish?" Excellent! "Curry powder?" Brilliant!). I have now listened to it 3 times and can report that I am quite happy to do so several times more. The same can't be said for other audiobooks we have ...
At an hour long, it probably covers most car journeys you are likely to do. My only warning would be that the Grandma really is quite a scarey character, so might not be suitable for very young children or right before bedtime. She shouts quite a range of nasty things ("You horrible little worm!") and George thinks very nasty things back ("Miserable old cow!"). My 5 year old has yet to shout any of these things himself, but I am sure he will once he knows the story backwards. Still, I supose there are worse things he could be saying!!
Your next step from this would be James and the Giant Peach. The same company of actors does a version, also avaliable on Amazon. It's the same little boy as the lead part. Makes perfect sense to my kids.
