My Son (who is 4) loves Curious George! I ordered this book for him. The only problem is that the story talks all about baseball in terms that only someone older can comprehend. Everytime I read it to him and try to explain he is totally lost... This is the ONLY Curious George story that I have been disappointed in and we have at least 75% of the old and new books.

Published in 2006, this 24-page book tells the story of Curious George going to a baseball game. The Man With the Yellow Hat happens to be friends with the head coach of the Mudville Miners and arranged for them to watch the game from the dug out.

George sees the coach sending hand signals to the runner on second base--and thinks this is a new way to cheer on the Miners. So he begans to wave his arms--but his gestures distract the runner and he gets tagged out. Needless to say, those in the dugout are angry at George!

So George and TMWTYH watch the rest of the game in the stands. George notices a camerawoman roving through the crowds--and was excited to see people around him appear on the large screen in the stadium! So he tries to climb on the camera and ends up angering the camerawoman. But the good news is that his antics help reunite a lost boy with his father!

This past weekend we visited a bookstore and my son wanted not one, but SEVEN Curious George books to add to his collection (he already had several at home). Written by Laura Driscoll and illustrated in the style of H.A. Rey by Anna Grossnickle Hines, Curious George at the Baseball Game was one of the books we bought at the store.

This engaging tale--one of the best in the CG series--is geared towards ages 4-8, so it's a good book for beginner/intermediate readers. It's also makes a great bedtime story!

In addition, Curious George at the Baseball Game contains two Bonus Activities: The inside of the back cover has two black and white illustrations for a Spot the Difference activity (I loved those as a kid!). There is also a circular maze on the back cover; George must get through the maze to find his baseball cap and ball.

My daughter just loves curious George and in fact that was her last birthday theme. We gave out an assortment of these as favors. Everyone loved the idea.

Even though he's got many other books he likes, super heros etc, four year-old still likes us to read George books over and over and over... Bought two baseball George books to start getting him into the upcoming Little League season. Getting a little tired of reading them, but he's not!

I bought this for my grandson and it's now his favorite book. He carries it and sleeps with it and keeps it with him. He loves it!!!which makes me very happy!!!

We had bought this for a baby shower gift.... the babies room is all red sox! They loved it! thank you! Also really fast shipping which worked perfectly since I ordered it soooo late! thanks again!

This book is a good addition to the Curious George collection. It is great to see an entirely new book for this series

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.
