George and the Man with the Yellow Hat are off to the grand opening of a brand new toy store!

They excitedly wait in line and, of course, curious George isn't content to just *stand* there! He sneaks through the crowd and enters the store amid the protest of the store owner ("this is no place for a monkey!"). George is dazzled by all the toys--checkers, slinkies, hula hoops--and begins playing with them.

The bystanders get in on the act, and George ends up getting toys off the shelf for the customers. Needless to say, George was very good for business!

Based on the stories by Margaret and H.A. Rey, Curious George Visits a Toy Store is illustrated by Martha Weston. The simplicity and amusing story is definitely within keeping of the Rey's, although her illustrations are often a bit heavy on the black charcoal.

However, this is a great story that George enthusiasts will no doubt love.

Honestly are there any bad Curious George books out there? I sincerely doubt it. Just like the others this one is another favorite. I think I enjoy reading them as much as my son, what's not to love about a sweet monkey who's adventures always seem to capture our imagination and our hearts.

My three year old son loves Curious George and we usually pick up a new book if we don't have it. We bought this the other day and immediately read it before bed. He loved the story and pictures.

When finished, he also proceeded to complete the maze puzzle on the back cover, but couldn't. Not for the lack of ability, but the maze cannot be solved, atleast not as printed on our copy. He was disappointed, as it was the first maze he couldn't solve.

So, kuddos to the author and illustrator, but tsk-tsk on the QA folks and/or publisher for not catching this.

I love all the curious George books. Who Doesn't?

My kids 5 and 2 love Curious George. This book is no exception. They love to read it, look at it, carry it around, ... As always, it is a cute story that includes a little mischief that all works out in the end. Thanks.
