More than my son I love Curious George stories. The curiosity leads the monkey into trouble- always. The good thing is that he just wanted to help. His intentions are very genuine and caring. Its just that he does not know exactly how and without knowing he jumps into and messes it up. At the end, however, George always does the right thing and clears all the mess and his goal of helping or being useful is fulfilled.
My son says this monkey always messes up things and gets away with it. Yes.. after all that's what monkeys do. We have watched the series on youtube also, he likes it but not love it. Somehow he cannot identify or relate himself with a naughty monkey or child. I feel that in this book too, my son sympathizes with the ice cream shop owner. " Why did the monkey mess up?" " why didn't he ask before taking it?" The book does make him laugh though. It is funny.
The book is easy to read and interesting for a child. To be in a icecream and do/eat whatever he likes is probably every ice cream lovers dream. One banana split ice cream for me too!!!!
I borrowed the book from library. I wouldn't mind buying a copy as well. It is lovely. I love ice creams.
