George
has had it with his younger brothers who pester him and follow
him wherever he goes. Whenever they ask where he is going
when he tries to get away from them, George always replies,
'Nowhere!'
Poor George wants some space. He needs some space. Hiding
out in the bathroom just doesn't work! Then one day a new
washing machine is delivered to their house and George commandeers
the box. Perfect! George transforms the big container into
a place where he can find a little peace and quiet. He has
created "Nowhere!"
How cool. Nowhere is amazing. It is magnificent. It is stupendous.
But, there is a downside, too. Nowhere does not have dragons
or pirates to fight. In other words, there is no one else
in nowhere and that's no fun. Fortunately, George knows where
to find some little dragons and pirates to play with and that
place isn't too far away. And when they ask where he has been,
George just smiles and replies, 'Nowhere!'
Older children who have to deal with younger siblings will
find it easy to relate to George's problem and his desire
for some personal space. On the other hand, though, this picture
book also points out that having in-house playmates can also
be considered a positive situation, too.
