Curious George The Surprise Gift Cgtv 8x8

The Man with the Yellow Hat brings home a birthday present for a friend, and in an effort to distract George and prevent him from opening the gift, the man gives George an orange to “unwrap.” The curious monkey discovers that there are many other things to unwrap besides presents (like the bathroom walls with their peeling wallpaper!), but maybe not all of them can be rewrapped. Full-color activities: a matching and twenty questions game, a birthday idea space, and a think-more-about-it section.

A collection of wintertime stories follows George the curious monkey as he wraps a Christmas present, has fun playing in the snow, and tries to hibernate through the cold winter like a bear.

George is making tortillas—and taking a trip—in this story starring the “adorable but trouble-making” monkey (Forbes). George's friend Marco wants to make his famous tortillas for his abuela's birthday, and George is happy to help! But when George knocks over the bag of masa and the grocery store is all out, George and Marco are worried the birthday surprise will be ruined. Luckily, Uncle Enrique is there to take them on a new adventure to find out where masa comes from, how it’s made, and how it gets from the farm to Marco’s table. This story, based on the Emmy Award-winning PBS TV show, also includes two activities to help reinforce the concept of where food comes from and how it gets into our stores and onto our plates.

"Join George as he looks to the sky for a starry solution to his bad dreams! Includes glow-in-the-dark stickers"--

Curious George's friend Bill has put him in charge of several tadpoles. George sends the tadpoles for a nice swim in the lagoon, but to his dismay, the tadpoles don't return! Each time he goes back to the lake he tries to find the tadpoles, but he finds only tadpole-like creatures without tails . . . and with legs. A trip to the museum teaches George about the development of tadpoles into frogs, and he and Bill are happy to make the acquaintance of their new froggy friends!

Readers learn the alphabet along with George as the man in the yellow hat teaches the curious monkey how to read.
