What happens when a man in a yellow hat takes a curious monkey out of the jungle in Africa? What happens when the man lets the monkey run free on a ship and in a city in America? The answer is chaos and a lot of fun! There is one adventure after another until Curious George arrives at his final destination…the zoo.
George’s curiosity in Curious George makes this book a fun read for children and adults alike. The reader will get many laughs out of the human activities the monkey participates in, such as eating at the table, sleeping in a bed, and making a telephone call. The writing is simple and direct. Children will want to keep turning the pages as one adventure unfolds after another. The author fills every other page with colorful cartoonlike drawings. The illustrations are great, and help tell the story. Illustrations are great, because they often help children understand what is going on in the book better. This book may be a little long for younger children. There was one part of the book that I find inappropriate for a children’s picture book. The part that bothers me is the fact that George smokes a pipe before going to bed. A theme I found in this book is that there are consequences for your actions. Children may or may not pick up on this, depending on their age. Overall, Curious George is a fun book that both girls and boys will enjoy!
