Can't You Make Them Behave, King George?, by Jean Fritz

(Paperback, 48 pages, first published in 1976)

"Great fun and fascinating history." —School Library Journal, (starred review)

This entertaining volume, by Newbery Honor-winning author Jean Fritz, sheds light on the life of England's King George III.

It begins when he was a bashful boy who blushed easily, goes on to his early days as king, and finally examines his role in the American Revolution - when Americans ceased to think of him as good King George. Fascinating history made accessible for young readers.

"The lively text includes plenty of amusing, personality-revealing anecdotes . . ." —Children's Literature

Storyglory Cautions: While doing his childhood homework, learning about Julius Caesar, George says, "Mr. Caesar, I wish you would go to the devil." Fritz mentions that George was very charming and instead of holding out his hand for ladies to kiss, he would kiss ladies.
