Author Description

In this classic story by Margret and H. A. Rey, George looks out the window and sees a world of adventure waiting for him-that is, until he gets a little too carried away flying his friend Bill's kite.; Curious George is up to his elbows in dough and trouble as he tries his hand at making pizza. Tony the baker chases him out of his restaurant, and George hides in a truck in the alley. An angry Tony becomes a grateful Tony when George helps him deliver a pizza in a way that only a monkey could.; Every year, George and the man with the yellow hat attend a pancake breakfast to benefit the children's hospital. Always curious, George finds his way to the pancake table and helps out. After making some of the most interesting pancakes the crowd has ever seen, George gets into even more monkey mischief!; In this classic story, George tries to write a letter-but, when he spills ink everywhere, his cleanup efforts fill the room with soap bubbles. He also frees a pen full of pigs, rides a cow, hitches a ride on a pickup truck, crashes into a dinosaur, and finally, most importantly, soars into outer space, which results in the happiest day of his life-he gets a medal, of course!; When the man with the yellow hat takes George camping, George is very excited. There is so much to do at the campsite-pitching a tent, gathering water, meeting fellow campers-that George hardly knows where to begin (he only hopes the day will end with a roasted marshmallow!). When George's knack for unintentional mischief gets him lost deep in the woods, George is scared... and being sprayed by a skunk only adds to the trouble. But George puts on a brave face, and he ends up saving the day when he puts out a small fire that could have endangered the forest.
