Curious George Goes Camping (Book & CD)

by H. A. Rey, Alan J. Shalleck (Illustrator), Margret Rey

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

[Editor’s Note: This is a combined review with CURIOUS GEORGE GETS A MEDAL.]--On George the monkey’s first camping trip with the Man in the Yellow Hat new experiences such as pitching a tent and roasting marshmallows bring fun. But when a problem arises, how will George redeem himself? In the second book, a letter arrives for George. What adventure awaits once the Man with the Yellow Hat reads it to him? How do a flood, a cow, a museum, a professor, and jumping from a space vehicle connect to Curious George? In these zippy new productions narrator George Capaccio brings a lively animation to each role. Upbeat music and a myriad of sound effects accompany Curious George’s escapades.
