Who doesn’t love the tales of Curious George, the curious little monkey? How would you like to see all of the original stories in one volume? “The Complete Adventures of Curious George” includes the first seven adventures of Curious George all in one book. From his first encounter with The Man in the Yellow Hat to his trip to the hospital, you and your child will love reading these stories about that mischievous little monkey.
Curious George
The first story in the series tells us all about Curious George in his homeland of Africa. We find out how he meets The Man in the Yellow Hat and how The Man brings him away from Africa. This part is a bit sad but once you and your child read all about George’s silly antics, you will forget about the sad stuff and start the endless laughing.
Curious George Takes a Job
This story should be called “Curious George Takes Many Jobs” or “Curious George Takes a Job…and Another…and Another” because this is what happens. Follow George as he takes jobs as a painter, a window-washer, a dish washer, and many other occupations. My goodness! I wish i could do all of that work without breaking a sweat!
Curious George Rides a Bike
Not only does Curious George learn how to ride a bike, but he goes on another whirlwind adventure. He delivers newspapers, makes boats, and take a trip to the circus when his bicycle becomes a unicycle. Read this story to find out what else George does on this journey.
Curious George Gets a Medal
This entire story begins when George spills a bottle of ink. When he attempts to clean it up with a box of soap and a hose, the fiasco begins! But how does George get a medal?
Curious George Flies a Kite
When Curious George helps a boy get his kite out of a tree, the boy lets him fly the kite. But when a gust of wind comes up and carries George and the kite away, what will he do?
Curious George Learns the Alphabet
This book is not actually one of the usual Curious George adventures. Instead, The Man in the Yellow Hat teaches George how to read. Each letter is shown in upper- and lower-case and related to an object which it resembles. This book is perfect for the Curious George fan who is just learning how to read.
Curious George Goes to the Hospital
This happens to be my favorite Curious George story. The Man in the Yellow hat buys George a jigsaw puzzle, but George swallows a piece of it thinking that it is candy! He has to go to the hospital and have surgery to remove the piece of puzzle from his stomach. If your child needs to go to the hospital for a surgery, this book may help alleviate his/her fears.
Curious George can always be counted on to make children laugh. However, it is important to stress that no matter how funny George is, his behaviors are not always acceptable for children. We don’t want our kids going out and sniffing ether now, do we? In any case, just have fun with these stories and share them with your kids who will surely enjoy them.
“The Complete Adventures of Curious George” is available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other major booksellers.
