Praise for Can’t You Make Them Behave, King George?

★”England’s King George ill made buttons, ate sauerkraut, and collected clocks but none of the above could blot the upstart American Revolution from his mind. Great fun and fascinating history.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Fritz gives both a cozy, slightly comic view of the monarch, a tone picked up by the artist, and a view of the American Revolution that may help children understand that there is more than one approach to historical events.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“The book is as entertainingly written as her earlier biographical works about Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin; if based on background less familiar to young American readers, it may be, for that reason, even more welcome.” —Horn Book

“Another of Jean Fritz’s witty, warts-and-all portraits of Revolutionary War leaders.” —New York Times Book Review

“A snappy biography of King George ill, vividly portraying his personality quirks and unusual taste as well as political philosophy.” —Chicago Daily News
