Just cute, what can you say? And George in a library, collecting books. The Man with the Yellow Hat does a poor job of watching him though. :)

I think I enjoyed this book more than my daughter did. It didn’t keep her interest very well. She asked me to read the book, and then kept trying to run off and play while I was reading it.
The sentences are a little longer, and there are more to a page, and books like that just don’t keep my 2-year olds attention very well, yet.
We got through the book, but it definitely wasn’t a favorite. She hasn’t asked me to re-read it which she does with books she really likes.
The book wasn’t bad, and would definitely be better for kids that are a little older, and can sit for longer periods of time.

My sons LOVE Curious George. My daughters never cared much for him.
However, I have developed quite a liking to him. Even though he sometimes annoys me quite a bit.

Mom's Review: Obviously you know why I picked this one out for Jake when he was little. I read it to him at least once a week and he enjoyed it -- as well as the rest of the Curious George stories. It seemed to work as he really enjoyed going to the library -- so far hasn't worked for Jesse, he still doesn't like the library. It's a cute little story, but a wee bit dated. As well the patrons of the library and the library staff are a little too stereotypical for this modern library worker. One of the patrons even shushes George -- I know, it made me mad too LOL! The library workers are nice though, so the Rey's are forgiven. This story has the usual storyline of George getting into mischief, learning a lesson and cleaning up after his mistakes. It teaches kids a good moral lesson without being too preachy and George is so adorable to read about. Parents, teachers, Librarians and kids will all enjoy.
Mom's Rating: 9/10
Jake's Review: Mom says I loved it as a kid, but I think she must have been exaggerating. It is a funny story and I love how much trouble George gets into. He's not a bad monkey, he just is very curious and doesn't like to stay still (Mom's note: hmm reminds me of my boys). The pictures are kinda old fashioned and I think it is definitely written for younger kids, but I still did like it -- though not as much as mom. She is a nerdy librarian after all

The kindergartners and first graders enjoyed this story, even if I didn't appreciate that George faces no consequences. The Man and the librarian never explain to him how he should have acted differently. One class pointed out how he shouldn't have taken the book or ridden the cart down the ramp, but the other classes didn't, and I think those things should have been discussed in the book.
