I have very special memories of this book. I loved reading it as a child and looking at the illustrations. It's a really good book for kids. ( )

Summary:
Yet another story about Curious George and the man with the yellow hat. In this children's book they visit the zoo. Curious George gets a little hungry and takes a bucket of bananas from the zoo keeper. But with the bananas he took, he does good. George helps a child get their balloon back from the monkeys.

Review:
The Curious George books are classics that I used to read all of the time when I was younger. In the collection there are many lessons to be learned. The whole series could be something to build an entire unit around, just by reading about the crazy little monkey Curious George. ( )

I like Curious George books but I do not know how I feel about all of these different stories. I liked this one because it was about going to the zoo. So not only do we learn about the central message of the story, but the author also includes descriptions and illustrations of different types of zoo animals. George gets lost at the zoo but while trying to find the man with the yellow hat, he comes across different characters with problems and tries to help them. In my opinion the central message of the story is that George is a caring person and when you do good things for other people, good things will happen to you. The author used the classic Curious George illustrations while using words that young children understand. This is another example of the importance of cooperation between illustrations and written words. ( )

Curious George is no doubt a great series. Its bright yellow cover is unforgettable! This book in particular is a great way to expose children to animal vocabulary. All of the Curious George books are always fun, amusing, and upbeat. The illustrations are also very nice. This book is aimed toward lower elementary school students! ( )
