Curious George is by far one of my favorite children's characters! In reference to my quote in class: "Hey that's me in the story!" definately is conveyed to our young audience! While reading it to my younger brother, he laughs and giggles, because right off the bat he can relate to George. Like Wyatt, Curious George may start out with the best of intentions but ever-persevering curiosity prevails every time. In this case, Curious George tries to take up a job as a window cleaner, but ...more
(Classic Picture book) Curious George is truly a classic picture book! Children of all ages can go along with Curious George on his many adventures. The best thing about Rey's Curious George book Curious George Takes a Job is that children can relate to George in this book. Like many children George experiences feelings of curiousity,anxiousness,excitement,and fear. In one of the scenes in the book Curious George is told "Don't be curious or you'll get in trouble". Surely children have...more
The "J is for Jobs" story time theme coincided with the Idaho Family Reading Week for 2010. This year's theme is "Join the Curious Crowd--Read Aloud!" This story tied the two themes together. Due to time constraints and the length of the story I "told" the story as I thumbed through the pages, reading only the last page.

This is another of the Reys' gleeful books of monkey business. In this one, George escapes from the zoo, wanders into a restaurant and gets caught eating the pasta, takes a job as a window-washer (and gets distracted painting a jungle-scape in someone's apartment), and takes a fall from the fire escape, landing himself in the hospital, where the man with the yellow hat comes to rescue him.

One of the Curious George books that I like better (I'm not a big fan of the series in general), both because George's troubles are not COMPLETELY caused by neglectful adults (in later books, the Man in the Yellow Hat just tells George to stay put, then wanders off until the end of the book, and I think "REALLY?"), and because I remember being fascinated by the hospital scenes growing up. This is also an original H.A. Rey.

I give this five stars because in it, Curious George (naughty monkey!) inadvertantly takes ether and trips out. I just love that this is completely inappropriate for childrens' books these days, but once upon a time, apparently this was OK stuff. Hey, we all watched the drunken scene in Dumbo as kids, and we're all fine, right?
My grandchildren Harrison, age 3, and Ella, age 2, love this book and want me to read it every time I see them. For Christmas, I bought them a large, framed painting of Curious George painting the room like a jungle, a copy of the centerfold from the book.
As a child, Curious George sparked my imagination. In this boook I was especially fascinated by his recreation of the jungle back home when the painters went to luch. Our boys seem to enjoy it too.
One of the original ones. It's always funny to see the difference between the show version and the book version. People are a lot more understanding on the show!
When I read this book as I child I wanted to transform myself into Curious George! Loved reading it to my grandchildren.
awwwww this book is so cute i have it at home i love this book because i love monkeys they're my favorite animal
I especially liked the part where George was in the hospital, and cooed at these pages a lot.
my favourite monkey of all time
only a monkey could get into this much trouble.
Read 4 or 5 times with Anna in Texas.
I made a 90 on the AR Test

Can be read on career day.

This is another really sad book.
First cute little monkey George is ripped from his homeland and brought to the industrial world. Then he gets a job. One would think that a monkey would be allowed to chill out and not have to spend life as a wage slave. Those would be logical monkey perks. But no, cute little George takes a job. Sigh.
I would have given this book only one star, but I have to give it at least two stars just because George is so darn cute.

A brilliant how-to book with loads of diagrams and information. It can take a bit long to read, but it's well-worth the time spent.
I always wanted to go in the room that George paints. In fact, I wished it were my bedroom when I was younger.
This is another favorite that my kids can't get enough of. We have read it hundreds of times!
I like it when Curious George forgets to be curious at the ending.
Oh, George, I'm so glad you're so curious!
I like George and he needed a job ...
One of my childhood favorites. :)
