George brags, procrastinates, and offers excuses instead of training for the big race--much to his later embarrassment.

George is always bragging. He says he runs the fastest, reads the thickest books, and catches the biggest fish. When Harriet invites him to join her family's fishing trip, George is nervous. What if Harriet finds out the only fish he's ever caught was in the pet store? Readers will delight in what happens when George's bragging finally catches up with him.

After having his lunch repeatedly stolen by a bully twice his size, Loudmouth George and his friend Harriet teach him a lesson he'll never forget.
