George likes to eat good food. His grandmother doesn't like him to eat chocolate because it will make him grow. He tinkers around and makes a medicine. Grandma consumes it and grows huge. A chicken also grows big with the medicine. Others realize that they may be on to something. George tries to make more, but has trouble remembering exactly how it was made. The other ones don't turn out exactly as expected. Grandma sees one of the batches of medicine and treats it as her tea, consuming a megadose. This ends up making her shrink to a super small size. We feel that she got what she deserved. This is a short, typical Dahl book. The adults try to control children, but get their own medicine.
