"I really liked this book. I thought it faced a lot of differnt things you encounter while you are at the hospital. The only thing I didnt like about it was it is too long for a younger child. I read it to a little girl in kindergarden and she was tried of listening by the middle of the book."
— Shaley (5 out of 5 stars)
" He gets high on ether! Times sure have changed as to what's appropriate for kids! "
— Jen, 2/13/2014" Probably my very favorite CG book! "
— Joanna, 2/10/2014" Monkey on ether! What fun! "
— Jennifer, 2/9/2014" Whether it's your tonsils or your gall bladder, when you have to go to the hospital, find a Man in a Yellow Hat, or his equivalent, to go with you. "
— Kate, 2/7/2014" This is my favorite of all the Curious George books. "
— Laura, 2/3/2014" The best in the series! Such a good little monkey, but oh so curious. "
— Dara, 2/2/2014" Why are the original H.A. Rey books so long? "
— Megan, 1/18/2014" The unedited one. Every adult I know who've read this laughs at the bit with George and ether. "
— M.j., 1/15/2014" This book is the first half of the reason I ended up working in allied health care. "
— Vicki, 1/13/2014" I love Curious George. Who doesn't want to read about a monkey whom is always getting into something? "
— Jessie, 1/4/2014" It is a funny book! "
— Caitlin, 1/2/2014" The book is so dated it's almost a history lesson. I suppose since Curious George is such an icon of childrens stories that anything less than three stars is unheard of and yet I can't see giving it anything more. "
— the, 12/29/2013" Lovely story for kids that have to go to the hospital. It helps them adjust and be prepared because Curious George has experienced this as well. "
— Zanéa, 12/12/2013" Great for any kid who's going to the hospital. "
— Ann, 12/10/2013" Certainly not my favorite children's book. It's okay and the story about the spotted rabbit is pretty good. But, I wouldn't spend the bucks for a nice hardback copy like I have. "
— Kelli, 10/18/2013" Used for my Puzzle-themed storyhour class. Curious George swallows a puzzle piece and goes to the hospital. The story was too long and had to be abridged to read during storyhour. Still the kids love Curious George and liked the story. "
— April, 10/18/2013" Oh, George, you scamp! You ate a puzzle piece, crashed a wheelchair and created mayhem at the hospital. But it's all good---a little girl smiled. "
— David, 9/2/2013" reminded me of going to the hospital to visit my mother in the 50s. O..those ramps... "
— Mary, 7/29/2013" This one is really long to read out loud. "
— Child960801, 7/14/2013" Oh, no! Curious George swallows a piece of his puzzle, and doesn't feel so good. Off to the hospital he goes, where he finds puppets to play with, and wheelchairs to race down the halls. Another classic George story! "
— Jackie, 6/22/2013" Moral: don't put toys on your mouth, if you dot what a doctor appt. "
— Chantelle, 5/29/2013" My hands down favorite curious george book. The illustrations take me right back to being a child. "
— Laura, 5/7/2013" I have to remind myself again and again that I bought this book for my son. He loves it. I myself just don't understand why does a monkey go to a human hospital. Take him to a vet, for heaven's sake!! "
— Debora, 1/22/2013" This is a good book too. I learn ALOT from Curious George! He's the best! "
— Helen, 12/27/2012" My favorite Curious George book!! I particularly like the one illustration where George eats the puzzle piece. When I was little, this book made me think that going to the hospital would be a really cool thing to do. Sadly - or maybe not so sadly? - I didn't get that experience! "
— Chelsey, 10/25/2012" Curious George is cute, I call my dog (whose name is Jeb) Curious Jeb. I hope he never goes to the hospital. "
— Abby, 7/16/2012" This is Wilson's absolute favorite book. I've read it so many times I can recite it. :) "
— Holly, 5/20/2012" My Favorite Curious George Story Ever! "
— Oceanmtnfan, 1/24/2012" The world's most famous and favorite monkey is at it again. George is curiously engaging in simplicity and in a child-like way he makes a person smile. "
— Jeanne, 12/11/2011" I was five years old when I read this book. Curious George had to go to the hospital because he had swallowed a jigsaw puzzle piece. Funny idea - sorry if I just spoiled it for anyone. "
— Mel, 5/2/2011" This book is good to read to your students. It helps them to deal with going into the hospital. It helps them to know what to expect a little bit better. "
— Yates, 12/5/2010" Jackson has been loving Curious George books lately! "
— Ashlee, 11/15/2010" i'm not a huge fan or curious george but a lot of younger children might be afraid to go to the hospital and this book might help them feel better about it. "
