A charmer of a book about a boy and his imaginary friend, Nobody. This allows for plenty of wordplay in the book with Nobody telling the boy to do anything, Nobody helping him, and Nobody cleaning up. George woke up early in the morning and with Nobody’s advice decided to make a feast! So he and Nobody raid the refrigerator, mix all sorts of things together including eggs, chocolate syrup and dog biscuits. Not allowed the turn on the stove, the two friends had to wait. So they played cards. Nobo...more
3.5/5
George and his imaginary friend Nobody get up one morning before George's mom and dad get up and decide to make pancakes and get into all sorts of mischief.
This is a cute picture book with plenty of wordplay. Such as Nobody helped me, Nobody cleaned up, and so on. This would be good for preschoolers and older, possibly a good storytime book if explained and paired with other books about using your imagination.

Loved this book, it's such a sweet mix of touching and funny. I'm not sure if Nobody is an imaginary friend or a sort of alter-ego to the main character George, but it seems perfect for my own only child. Love the bright red cover! The pictures and writing are fab.
A great book about a Nobody brother ignored, and a his brother revered, who ends up helping Nobody become recognized. Great illustrations, I liked how they colored Nobody grey and his brother in red to show which one was more recognized.
George and his imaginary friend, Nobody, play together until George's parents wake up. They make a feast in the kitchen and invent their own games. A sweet book about the power of imagination to keep us company when we are alone.
I really enjoyed this concept of "nobody" as a character for in our house we have a "somebody." I would have rated it higher but for the fact that the concept was confusing .... and my 4 1/2 was rather puzzled.
Not the first time this ploy is used: "Nobody" is a character that is the imaginary friend of George. Nobody does things that are mostly mischievous. Nobody earns a little credit in the end for being a friend though.
Great story of a crazy breakfast feast. George wakes up alone--but not really since he has Nobody around to keep him company. The artwork goes perfectly with the story. A classic.
Terrific book for kids about loneliness and how not to be lonely. Rosenberg's poetic language draws kids in and holds them tight. Kids will love it--and their parents will too.
Adorable story with beautiful illustrations. We fell in love with George and Nobody.
Very sweet, playful book. Lovely pictures that perfectly match the lively prose.
Great play on words, imaginary friend includes a nice child point of view
A great kids food book! And imaginary friend. Loved it
sweet book, great story and great pictures.
Loved it! So does my only son!
