Published in 2006, this 24-page book tells the story of Curious George going to a baseball game. The Man With the Yellow Hat happens to be friends with the head coach of the Mudville Miners and arranged for them to watch the game from the dug out.George sees the coach sending hand signals to the runner on second base--and thinks this is a new way to cheer on the Miners. So he begans to wave his arms--but his gestures distract the runner and he gets tagged out. Needless to say, those in the dugout are angry at George!So George and TMWTYH watch the rest of the game in the stands. George notices a camerawoman roving through the crowds--and was excited to see people around him appear on the large screen in the stadium! So he tries to climb on the camera and ends up angering the camerawoman. But the good news is that his antics help reunite a lost boy with his father!This past weekend we visited a bookstore and my son wanted not one, but SEVEN Curious George books to add to his collection (he already had several at home). Written by Laura Driscoll and illustrated in the style of H.A. Rey by Anna Grossnickle Hines, Curious George at the Baseball Game was one of the books we bought at the store.This engaging tale--one of the best in the CG series--is geared towards ages 4-8, so it's a good book for beginner/intermediate readers. It's also makes a great bedtime story!In addition, Curious George at the Baseball Game contains two Bonus Activities: The inside of the back cover has two black and white illustrations for a Spot the Difference activity (I loved those as a kid!). There is also a circular maze on the back cover; George must get through the maze to find his baseball cap and ball.
My Son (who is 4) loves Curious George! I ordered this book for him. The only problem is that the story talks all about baseball in terms that only someone older can comprehend. Everytime I read it to him and try to explain he is totally lost... This is the ONLY Curious George story that I have been disappointed in and we have at least 75% of the old and new books.
An excellent book to read to a young person who has never been to a professional baseball game. It would give a child's parents or grandparents something to talk about with their child or grandchild and help explain what is going on at the game. Also, as usual it is a good Curious George story where George gets into trouble, but all turns out good in the end.
Our sons (2 & 4) love baseball and George, so this was the perfect combination. Even though we probably have a hundred books to choose from this is their favorite night after night a month after we got it.
My grandson's current fascination is Curious George and baseball so this book is a win/win. The best way to encourage a child to love reading is to give them something to read that they will enjoy. Curious George has been a great source of stories since I was a child.
Curious George books tend to have one of two problems: the originals were written so long ago, some of their views are rather outdated; and the new additions seem to be written as a cash grab rather than a love of the character. But this one is in that wonderful space in the middle of the Venn Diagram where "thoughtful story with positive message" and "timeless" meet. I am happy to read this to my son whenever he likes.
It's a cute book but the pictures of the pages and print are too small for my Kindle. While trying to read it my grandson had to look over my shoulder to see the pages. Buy the book, not the Kindle version.
I bought this book to go along with the Fisher-Price Triple Hit Baseball stand for my grandson's birthday. I think he might have enjoyed the book the most probably because he loves all the C. George books and the attention of being read to.
