I enjoyed reading this but because of the illustrations. The illustrations allow the reader to feel like they are apart of the story by the colors, variety of animals seen at the zoo, and they also illustrate every event that takes place, which gives readers a good visual. I found myself laughing

looking at some of them, which means that younger children would love them as well. This is a fun, cute book for younger readers to practice their reading because the zoo is relatable as well as Curious George himself, which engages the reader. The big idea of the book is a fun reading book for young readers, which includes humor as well as an engaging adventure of the famous little monkey.

In my opinion, this is a good book. I feel this way mainly because of the clear and descriptive language used in the text, as well as the colorful illustrations that can be seen on each page. In this story, George explores the zoo, all the while receives descriptive information from the zookeeper

on the characteristics different animals have. For example, when the zookeeper drives past the giraffes she states, “their tall necks help them eat leaves from the tree-tops.” In this sentence, an important fact about the animal is given to readers. Another component that I found truly enhanced the story, were the colorful illustrations. On each page, an illustration is drawn that correlates to the text. For example, when George is riding through the zoo in a car, illustrations of giraffes, zebras, lions, and elephants are all drawn beautifully. The underlying message to this story is always trust your instincts. George was the hero in the story, because he found the missing baby rhino. Had George not jumped into the pond when he saw the grasses moving, the baby rhino would have remained missing.
