Curious George does it again!

A very convoluted story about a bike. Curious George is the ultimate distracted child.
LibraryThing member yarb
A typical George tale of hilarious (to a two-year old) scrapes and misadventures.

Review: This is a great book of fiction. Not only is Curious George an already well known character, but this particular story is very inventive and it captures you. The situations George gets himself into and so unlikely that it fores you to believe they are

Curious George gets a bike from the man with a yellow hat. He is told to stay close to the house but becomes curious and roams away. A newspaper boy asks for George’s help and George becomes distracted by a nearby pond. He ends up in a circus.

As a child I loved the Curious George books, but when I read Curious George Rides a Bike I was disappointed. I still love the illustrations and the actual story, but I thought the plot was not appropriate for today’s children. George gets a bicycle from the man in the yellow hat, and rides off on

his own without a helmet! He meets strangers and gets in a lot of trouble, but eventually saves the day. If I had a child, I would want to be reminding them to wear a helmet, not talk to strangers, and not to leave the house without an adult. Overall, the language and writing is engaging and flows well, but the plot worries me in today’s society. The illustrations are really fun and enjoyable to look at because the style fits the mood. I enjoyed the part where George uses newspaper to create a boat. For example, “First he folded down the corners, like this” and then there is a “how-to” page to create your own boat! The message of this book is curiosity and bravery.

Curious George Rides a Bike is a great book in Children's Literature. It provides realistic scenarios that happen to all of us. George is given instructions and disobeys them. He then must face the consequence of not listening. Feeling sad, George witnesses a troubling event and decides to help

save the day. He made himself feel better and others were no longer mad at him for the bad things he had done. Children can use these examples and apply them to real life, which is always a good thing. Highly recommended.

It's basically Curious George's greatest hits on the theme of "riding": the time he rode his bike at the circus, the time he flew away holding onto balloons and was saved by the Man in the Yellow Hat in his helicopter, etc. Real kid-friendly shit.
