George takes a ride with a kite until the Man in the Yellow Hat saves him.

[Ramanda Flannery · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about a curious little monkey who has noticed that the wind is blowing. He finds that the wind blows many things away, but not his brick. George sees something flying in the sky and goes to find out what it is. George ends up with the kite string and it pulls him off the ground and through the air. At the end of the book George get his own kite that is not so big.
I would use this book in my class with a lesson on the different seasons.

This one is based off the most recent Curious George animated series on PBS. Robert has seen these shows, and so loves this version of George and his friends. This (and the other "early reader" CG books rated here) were regular bedtime reading material a few months after he turned 2.

George gets more than he bargained for when he tries to fly a big kite that ends up flying him away.
