'''''George's Marvelous Medicine''''' is a children's book by [[Roald Dahl]]. It is about the titular character, a boy named George, who is left alone with his horrible grandmother. When it is time for him to give her her medicine he mixes his own one using ingredients such as paint and animal pill. Far from poisoning her it instead makes her grow incredibly tall. When his parents return to the farm his Dad tries to get George to exactly reproduce the medicine for giant farm animals, however he cannot get it exactly right to the misfortune of the chickens they test it on. The book ends when he makes a shrinking medicine which Grandma mistakes for tea and drinks a whole bottle of. She then proceeds to shrink till she is invisible to the naked eye.
