Curious George goes to a movie by Margret and H.A. Rey's

You can never go wrong with a curious george book. It's great for the younger classrooms. Curious George is a silly monkey who always gets into trouble, his friend is the man with the yellow hat who is always telling him not to get in trouble, and be a good monkey. I think children like to read these books because it takes them into a story where the main character is being curious, just like small children are, and he does things that I'm sure little kids want to do but know they aren't supposed to. In the end though, everything goes back to being ok, and george and the man in the yellow hat always end up back together. This book is good to read with students because although george gets into trouble, it is kind of a way to teach students what is wrong and what is right. It's a casual book, and probably not a good one to read if you want to relate it to a certain lesson, but more or less a good book for down time. It's a good picture book with pretty easy wording so students in 2-4 grade could easily enjoy reading the book.
