Review

This book is an adaptation of the TV series Teleplay "Curious George" by Raye Lankford. The illustrations reflect the television-based format, though the original character from the Curious George books is still as endearing as he is recognizable. The format of this book would be best with a very small group or 1:1 setting (rather than an out-loud storytime) since there are sidenotes on nearly every page. Though the story is fiction, it serves as a non-fiction learning tool for basic astronomy, including day and night skies, stars and constellations, and the fundamentals of electricity.

Overall Book Score: very good
