Impressions: That
the book is ever different then I thought it was. I guess that I was thinking that the movie
was the really story but it was not. The
fact that the man in the yellow monkey napped George was something that I was
not excepting.
Professional Review: Preschool-Gr. 3. Lest you
worry that this 1941 story no longer works in today's sensitive climate, read
it to any three- or four-year-olds. They still delight in this pet/child's
exploits and triumphs. New in 1998 is a Houghton edition entitled The Original Curious
George, which features reproductions of the artist's original watercolors,
rather than the preseparated art used in previous editions.

Library use: This book is a good prediction book. When George is trying to mick the seagulls,
you can ask the students what do you think will happen to George? Why? How
do you know that is going to happen?
