It’s the first day of school and George has been invited to Mr. Apple’s class to be a special helper! George is just the right monkey for the job—that is, until he starts to make his usual mischief. A mixture of red and yellow paint makes orange . . . a mixture of yellow and blue makes green. . . . and a mixture of all the paint colors makes a big mess! After a speedy adventure up and down the halls of the school, George and Mr. Apple clean up the classroom—with a little help from George’s new friends.
Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS.

Curious George's First Day of School
Curious George is a picture book that is great for kids aged 4-9. Kids under 4 years old can absolutely enjoy hearing this story aloud, but it's illustrations do not tell the full story. Kids above 9 or 10 may be disinterested in the plot, but it is still a good casual read to share with kids of many ages.
This particular book is about George's first day of school, as the title suggests. As usual, George is very interested in all things school: math, reading, art, and physical education. He goes to each class being a very good student, but making a huge mess. His fellow students run around after him helping him clean, and no one even knows of his mischief.
I rated this book with 4 stars, because the plot is very engaging and funny, but this serious is not the most revolutionary or inventive. Even so, I have always had great experiences reading this book with kids. Kids are very responsive to having animals as protagonists and they have lots of fun imaging a monkey doing human activities, like going to school. The language is the perfect balance of complex, with dialogue and multiple sentences per page, and fun, with crazy messes and silly team clean-ups. The illustrations in this book are very straight-forward. They reflect exactly what the text says, without adding much more to the story. In this way, I don't think they are very important to the quality of the text.
This book series is great for kids who are familiar with the character, George, and enjoy reading about his most recent adventures.
