Summary: lazy storytelling
Review: There are so many interesting adventures George could have had in a museum, but the authors decided on a worthless plot. George is at a science museum on a class trip with children. The teacher is trying to teach them about rocks and minerals, and the children are all whining about how boring it is. George runs away from the group and climbs all over the skeleton of a dinosaur in a nearby room. He is scolded by a member of the museum staff (as right he should be!!!) but then the class catches up with him and the children are interested in the dinosaur bones. The story suggests that the only reason they are interested is because George is climbing on it! The teacher is grateful that George has found something better to look at than the dull rocks and the museum staff, glad that the children have been spared their boring museum, readily forgive George and hail him as a hero. What a bunch of bologna!!!

Summary: Not bad, but not the same
Review: This book is " adapted from the Curious George film series". The illustrations are different from the original, and even from the "Illustrated in the style of H.A. REY" both of which I feel are much better.The story is about CG who goes to a museum and gets into "trouble". It is a very short episode that doesn't really teach anything. Maybe its because I didn't even know there was a film series. I recommend the 3 book miniature set of originals, and "CG goes to a chocolate factory".

Review: This is just not up to the caliber of the original books....The behavior and comments of the children in the story convey themessage that learning is unpleasant and museums are boring - - not themessage I want to give to my children. In addition, George climbs adinosaur fossil and the museum director states that this activity isok, because now the children are not bored by having to be at thedull, old museum. This book was a gift which we have removed from ourbookshelf.
