Bibliographic Citation: Rey, H.A. (Hans Augusto) and Rey, Margaret. Curious George Visits the Library. Illustrated by Martha Weston. Houghton Mifflin, 2003. 24 pages. ISBN: 978-0618065684

Format: Paperback

Age Group: Ages 3-4 Years

Annotation:  Curious George is on another adventure, exploring the library. 

Reflection:  Curious George visits the library for the first time and attends story hour.  He tries to behave and sit still while the librarian reads a book to them but ends up grabbing the dinosaur book and taking off to explore the library.  Curious George takes a book cart and ends up making a mess.  He gets a library card and ends up taking home a pile of books.  This book introduces children to library terminology and children find his mischievous behavior hilarious.  Children can relate to attending story hour and getting their own library card.  The book is a little dated with the librarian stamping the books but is useful for introducing children to the library.
