FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Childrens Literature
George is up to his old tricks. Children will be amazed at all the mischief he makes on this camping trip. Like small children, George has a short attention span. When he is asked to retrieve a bucket of water at the campsite, he doesn't get very far. George's adventures eventually end when a skunk sprays him and he tries to get rid of the smell. George climbs a tree and sees a forest fire. He grabs his bucket, fills it with water, and douses the fire. As always, George redeems himself. The story and illustrations live up to the Curious George legacy. Children will enjoy this book, and undoubtedly, identify with this lively monkey. 1999, Houghton Mifflin, Ages 2 to 6, $12.00, $7.95 and $3.95. Reviewer: Jeanne K. Pettenati
