Oh, no! Curious George swallows a piece of his puzzle, and doesn't feel so good. Off to the hospital he goes, where he finds puppets to play with, and wheelchairs to race down the halls. Another classic George story!

This one is my favorite of the Curious George series. My son seems to like this one best. It is so cute and sweet. Plus, George really goes through something. I think my son might like it so much because he has had a trip to the hospital too. I think he relates to george and how George feels while he is in the hospital. I mean obviously, my son did not stay in the hospital overnight without us, but he did go into surgery by himself. So, George gets to have this experience and he deals with it in...more

There's still hardly anything more endearing that good 'ole Curious George. It's a classic for a reason. My kids always love the predicaments he gets himself into, and trying to figure out how the story will resolve itself, which they always do. The illustrations are priceless, and it's amazing how many of the titles I remember from when they were read to me.

This book makes me really sad. Poor George breaks his leg and has to go to the hospital for an operation. Will someone please take this monkey back to the jungle! He shouldn't be in the city, or goodness gracious, the zoo. He needs to be in the jungle!
(I love the illustration of George on drugs. Dizzy!)

This was my sister's book, who is older than me. This is the first long book he will sit through, and we have read it about 50 times in the last two weeks. It's the first thing he asks for when he gets up, and he wants to sleep with it.
I have to remind myself again and again that I bought this book for my son. He loves it. I myself just don't understand why does a monkey go to a human hospital. Take him to a vet, for heaven's sake!!

This is my fav from Margret and H.A. Rey. Niamh's "stuffed up" monkey, George (of course!), is forever swallowing puzzle pieces these days. Silly monkey, when will he learn?

This is one of my favorites from when I was a kid. I remember reading it when I had just had a hospital stay; George had more fun in the hospital than I did!

I learned Monkeys could go to the hospital if they got sick.
After I became sick, I realised this was a lie.
There are no monkeys in the people hospitals.

anybody going to the hospital, no matter what age
Whether it's your tonsils or your gall bladder, when you have to go to the hospital, find a Man in a Yellow Hat, or his equivalent, to go with you.

Oh, George, you scamp! You ate a puzzle piece, crashed a wheelchair and created mayhem at the hospital. But it's all good---a little girl smiled.

PB (5) was able to sit through the whole thing. Mei Mei (almost 3) got a little bored. They both liked it. PB picked it for her read tonight.

Curious George is cute, I call my dog (whose name is Jeb) Curious Jeb. I hope he never goes to the hospital.
