There is a very curious monkey called Curious George. He lives with a man with a yellow hat. One day the man with the yellow hat has to so some stuff, so he tells George to be a good monkey while he isn't there.

Then from behind the wall he sees a large pole with a string. he folowed the fisher and saw him fish.then he made his own fishing pole but never caught a fish.

Luckly then man with a yellow hat got home,got a helicopter and saved George and Bill gave him a baby bunny.

Curiousity Gets the Better of This Monkey Everytime

George the Monkey lives in the house of the man with the yellow hat. Monkey's are curious, George is very curious, so they call him Curious George. One day the man with the yellow hat had to go out. He told Curious George to stay in and play with the ball. Of course, George found a reason to go out and have a little adventure. He played with a baby bunny, almost got in trouble when he lost him, but he came up scheme to get him back. He saw a fat man go fishing, tried it too and fell in the lake. He helped a boy get a kite out of a tree, then tried to fly the kite himself. The wind came up and all of a sudden Curious George was carried aloft, holding onto the kite string for dear life. Fortunately the yellow hat man came home, got a helicopter and was able to save Curious George so that he could live happily ever after with his new baby bunny pet. The lesson here is, of course, "Curiosity Killed the Cat," or in this case almost killed the monkey. You can also make a case for your toddler that if George had minded the Yellow Hat Man, he wouldn't have gotten himself in such trouble. This book is just a bit old for my almost three-year-old son, but he loves it nevertheless. Devon knows his letters already, knows they make words and he knows what words are. This, among many other books for early readers, will have him literate before Kindergarten. What a fun way to teach a child to read.

This book is good for anyone.

I liked this book because it reminds me of me when I was a kid. I was very curious and I got in lots of trouble and my parents still loved me like the man in the yellow hat always loved George.

A classic

No, your kids won't learn how to save the world from this book but it will make them laugh and they'll enjoy reading it. I think the lesson here is more that despite getting into trouble for being a silly little monkey, George can always count on the unconditional love of the Man in the Big Yellow Hat.
