Curious George Visits the Library

I ordered a hardback copy but received a paperback copy. The last page had been ripped out of the book.

Good

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.

Curious George

Great addition to collection. Great gift for kids, and nice if you add plush toy with it for something extra!

Fun with a book-loving monkey

"Curious George Visits the Library" is, as the title page notes, "Illustrated in the Style of H.A. Rey" by Martha Weston. In this tale, George--"a good little monkey and always very curious"--visits the public library with his friend, the man in the yellow hat. Chaos ensues as George frolics through the library, but it all ends happily.Curious George is an enduring cultural icon, and this book is an enjoyable addition to his adventures. He's a cute and likeable character, and despite his disruptive antics, his love of books makes him admirable. Although mischievous, he is never malicious, and his attitude throughout is positive. Weston creates a nice portrait of a multiethnic community at the public library. Her illustrations are full of clever visual touches and entertaining details. If you're a fan of the curious monkey, don't miss this book.

Curious George is in my favorite place!

Curious George is on another adventure. This time he's in my favorite place, the library. The man with the yellow hat has brought George to the library for story time. He likes the books but sees one on dinosaurs that he hopes the librarian reads next. He gets impatient, takes the book and runs off. This is the beginning of his adventure. He goes through the library finding neat books and making a big mess in the process. The boys and girls at the library, along with a volunteer help clean up the mess. In the end the man with the yellow hat helps George get a library card and they both check out lots of great books. I liked the story and the pictures in the book. It's another great adventure with Curious George.I would recommed this book to others. It can be used with young children who are just learning about the library. It would make a great read for storytimes.
