Review by Booklist Review

Ages 3^-5. Like the Curious George books published last year, these are "based on the character of Curious George" and are "illustrated in the style of H. A. Rey" by Vipah Interactive. Still, children who adore the little monkey will enjoy following him through these short adventures. In Dump Truck, George follows ducks to the park, discovers a dump truck, and inadvertently shifts its load of dirt into the ducks' pond, creating an island for his new friends. In Parade, George breaks a coconut tree on a float, but disentangles two giant balloons and earns a ride in the parade in the mayor's car. Camping begins with George in trouble for putting out a campfire and ends with him congratulated for putting out a forest fire. Although not in the same league as the original books, these volumes will please young fans who can't get enough of George. --Carolyn Phelan
