"This 1957 book is a little dated (fountain pens, ink spills, blotter, first monkey in space) but that didn't detract from its charm at all. George gets into a lot of trouble in this book and my three-year-old son loved it. " — Dianna (4 out of 5 stars)

" Amazing what that curious monkey can do! :-) "
" Never get yourself into any trouble you can't get yourself out of. "
" Noticed it was from 1957, and in it, George was the first living thing in space.... obviously before the moon landing :) Wondering if this book is still in print? "
" I just gotta say, I love Curious George. Not only that, but he captivates little children. Adorable pictures, funny stories... "

" George is always ready for adventure and to help somebody. "
" Curious George stories are great when teaching sequencing and cause and effect. "
" George has quite a few mishaps before completing an adventure to space which he receives a medal for. "
" We skip the part when the book reads, "George was so ashamed he wanted to die." Other than that, not bad. Jake likes it. "
" Curious George seems to be in big trouble at the museum when he crashes the dinosaur display. Things change when the director asks him to bail out of flight. George is successful and earns a medal. "
" Too long, drawn-out and disjointed story for my tastes. I love Curious George but haven't read these original books much; I am a much bigger fan of the board book, shortened versions/pieces of these longer original stories into different books. "
" I think this is a typical curious george book, with him getting into trouble and getting out of it. I did not like how he went up in a space ship and then came back the same day. I like the illustrations. "
" Morgan loves this story about how Curious George makes a mess of ink on the floor, attempts to clean it up, ends up at a science museum, and ends up going into space. The random story and misadventures of Curious George are fun. "
" and then he goes to the moon, sort ofvia an ink blot, a farm, some pigs, angry farmers and a scientist. and the man in the yellow hat. "
" Frank's favorite part was when George got the farmers cow. I have to admit as a mom that this is not my favorite George story. "
