Synopsis

George loves to go to the science museum. So, when he finds out that the museum is planning a “Green Day” dedicated to recycling and planting trees, and George is curious and wants to help out! But little monkeys eager to help can sometimes become little monkeys getting into trouble. When George begins to find and recycle things around town that aren’t quite ready for the recycle bin, he gets into a jam. Thankfully, George isn’t the only one who wants to help—the whole community can’t wait to lend a hand—and help George and the museum plant some trees!

Reviews

When Curious George visits a science museum, he learns about the environment and hears about an upcoming recycling rally. Back at home, he loads empty cartons and old papers into his wagon. The next day, he happily picks up more papers to fill his wagon. His neighbors, angry to find their just-delivered newspapers gone, chase George all the way to the rally. After the man with the yellow hat arrives and explains George’s mistake, they stay to help plant trees. The book concludes with 20 child-centered “Living Green” tips, such as “Use both sides of your paper.” and “Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth,” which are illustrated on the book’s cheerful endpapers. With the tone of both art and story reminiscent of the original Curious George series, this picture book offers young children an appealing introduction to reusing and recycling.
