Curious George

We came to a dead end for our Dr Seuss books in early summer. I could not find any more of them available around here (I do the library not buy). I found a few that we watched online as someone else read them but it wasn't any fun. Someday I hope we do come across the remaining few.

Wednesdays are our library days. We go hang out with some friends and pick out books for the next week. And as Curious George has become a new love around here I decided to pick up all the books on the shelf. Baby flips through them and loves looking at what that bad little monkey is doing (yes, he sometimes can be bad!). I got me thinking as I looked at Curious George Goes to the Beach that are a few different varieties of George books. And...

Meet our newest challenge:

Read all of the Curious George books!

There are 9 original Curious George books by Margaret and H.A. Rey:


Cecily G and the 9 Monkeys (When George is first introduced)
Curious George
Curious George Takes a Job
Curious George Rides a Bike
Curious George Gets a Medal
Curious George Flies A Kite
Curious George Learns the Alphabet
Curious George Goes to the Hospital

After H.A. Rey died in 1977, Margaret continued to write stories with Alan Shalleck (they are mostly out of print now but some are being re-released).

Curious George and the Dinosaur
Curious George Goes to the Aquarium
Curious George Goes to the Dentist
Curious George Bakes a Cake
Curious George Goes to a Toy Store
Curious George Goes to School
Curious George Visits an Amusement Park
Curious George at the Railroad Station
Curious George Visits a Police Station
Curious George Goes Hiking
Curious George Goes to the Circus
Curious George at the Beach
Curious George Goes to a Restaurant
Curious George at the Fire Station
Curious George Plays Ball
Curious George Airport
Curious George at the Ballet
Curious George Walks the Pets
Curious George Goes Sledding

Then there is a whole list of other books written by Margart Rey about Curious George. Plus another list of books based on his movies and TV show (we will not include this since the list is never ending!).

Check out our progress as we take on this new challenge!
