(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Judy Brown. Seven-year-old Laura is shocked to discover that her newborn brother is able to talk. Since their parents aren't quite ready to accept George's abilities, the rather supercilious baby waits until his first birthday party to announce his amazing talent. There isn't much of a plot, but the concept is amusing and, with a comic illustration on every page, this chapter book moves at a nimble pace.
