I have graced them with one of my better ones.” Perhaps to a dog his gas is “delicate and earthy.” Or when he decides to pass gas and describes it like this, “The scent breezes around me. “You’re welcome, George.” She shakes her feet, one at a time.

The human characters are well written and the explanations for usual dog behavior, seen through a dogs eyes, is imaginative. Yet she does it in a way that does not clog up the story with words that are too unfamiliar and cause the reader to have to pause leaving the rhythm of the tale. “Girlpup”, “packmom”, “packdad”, and the use of “peeps” to describe people, is sure to delight children and get a chuckle out of mom and dad. Mymudes creates a fun story with creative use of words for her protagonist/narrator George.

His efforts are hampered by local events that take him and his family all on an adventure that will test Georges high opinion of himself, and help his “girlpup” Karly learn more of what it is to be a witch. George is a familiar for a family whose twelve year old daughter is a witch in training. Her self-confessed love of Basset Hounds makes her observations of the animals behavior a good guide for a story told from the perspective of a Basset Hound, in this case George. This is not always the case with children’s books, but Mymudes has managed to get it right. George Knows, by Mindy Mymudes, is a treat for children that adults can enjoy as well.
