George Lundgren

George Lundgren (pronounced lund-grin) is a fictional character in the Arthur books and TV series. He is a dyslexic, anthropomorphic moose who attends Lakewood Elementary, in Mr. Ratburn's third grade class. He daydreams frequently, and is a skilled carpenter and ventriloquist. His dummy is a giraffe named Wally.

He is very often shown as isolated from the other children. This is possibly because of his nosebleeds (Which occur on a regular basis), or it may be that he is simply a quiet person, or both. However, in the later seasons, like most of the other children, he has effectively socialized into the group.

In the episode, The Boy With His Head in the Clouds, George is revealed to have dyslexia.

In Arthur's Perfect Christmas, George does celebrate Christmas, but he celebrates it in a different way than the other kids in Elwood City, since his mom is from Sweden.

His last name was Nordgren until season 11, when it became Lundgren. He has a friend named Carl. George also has a sister who only appeared in the episode Sue Ellen's Little Sister in which she and George are seen running in the Brother and Sister Race.
