3.0

The illustrations are classic as ever, and the countdown to blastoff is a favorite with my 2 year old daughter. I was a little disappointed that the actual in space portion was largely omitted. This story is based on Curious George Gets a Medal, which I vaguely remember from my childhood. It appears to be a little less than half the length of the original. Regardless, it is a current favorite in our house right now getting repeat readings in a single sitting. It probably doesn't hurt that the star of the story is "George from TV".
