The owner got a call on the phone for a big order so, George took his chance. He scooped a bowl of every flavor there was. When the owner hung up, he was very upset with George and told him to leave. George didn't leave. He just went across the store to all the topping and made a bowl of all the ingredients. George caught the attention of the townspeople. All the people waited outside to see what was going on. All at once they trudged in and asked for ice cream. The owner served all of them and then thanked George.
The man in the yellow hat came back and asked if he had caused any trouble. He was a very curious monkey. He got into trouble often because of his curiosity.
He was tall and wore all yellow including a tall hat. The man in the yellow hat was a very kind person. The ice cream store owner was new at owning a business and had just opened the store.
He wore a nice, red dress shirt under his white apron. He was very nice to George until George got himself into a little mischief. The owner had a short temper. George wouldn't have drawn the attention of the townspeople and if that wouldn't have happened, the owner of the ice cream shop wouldn't have had the business he had. Recommendation I recommended this book to any parents with children under the age of three or children six and under who can read because it was a fun book kids that age can relate to.
This book was a good entertainment to my niece, so it can be good for other kids who are around the same age. View 1 comment. Mar 09, Morlando K rated it it was amazing Shelves: children-books.

All kids know Curious George and reading his crazy stories is just as good if not better than watching television. I would read this book to my students when we are working on predicting. Because George gets into a lot of trouble and mess and it is good for students to try and guess what is going to happen after George trys something that he probably shouldnt be doing sometimes.

Curious George Goes to an Ice Cream Shop follows the pattern of most of the George books where George is left by the man with the yellow hat and get into trouble and then gets out of trouble before the man in the yellow hat returns. Children love George and my class even likes the man in the yellow hat because he shows trust in George.
Mar 20, Kaye rated it it was amazing Shelves: picture-books. This book is about George's curiosity, could he scoop ice cream. The Curious George books would be good to use to talk to students about curiosity and how they can learn from their curiosity as long as they ask an adult for help.
In George's case it always turns out okay, but that is not always the case. The students could write and draw a picture about something they are curious about. Feb 11, Zak Patten rated it really liked it. Fun CG adventure. Nothing spectacular, but plenty of opportunities for George to get into trouble and eventually save the day.
A good bet for kids who like ice cream, which I think means just about all kids apologies to the lactose intolerant out there. Jul 13, David rated it did not like it Shelves: childrens.

Margret Rey. Rey , the co-author and illustrator of children's books, best known for their Curious George Although she was born in Germany, she fled to Brazil early in her life to escape Nazism. While there, she met her future husband Hans who was a salesman and also from Germany. They married in and moved to Paris, France that same year.
While in Paris, Hans's animal drawings came to the attention of French publisher, who commissioned him to write a children's book. The result, Rafi and the Nine Monkeys, is little remembered today, but one of its characters, an adorably impish monkey named Curious George, was such a success that the couple considered writing a book just about him. Their work was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II.
As Jews, the Reys decided to flee Paris before the Nazis seized the city. Hans built two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell. Among the meager possessions they brought with them was the illustrated manuscript of Curious George. The Reys' odyssey brought them to the Spanish border, where they bought train tickets to Lisbon. From there they returned to Brazil, where they had met five years earlier, but this time they continued to New York, New York.
The books were published by Houghton Mifflin in , though certain changes had to be introduced because of the technology of the time. Hans and Margret originally planned to use watercolors to illustrate the books, but since they were responsible for the color separation, he changed these to the cartoon-like images that continue to feature in each of the books. A collector's edition with the original watercolors was recently released. Curious George was an instant success, and the Reys were commissioned to write more adventures of the mischievous monkey and his friend, the Man in the Yellow Hat.
They wrote seven stories in all, with Hans mainly doing the illustrations and Margret working mostly on the stories, though they both admitted to sharing the work and cooperating fully in every stage of development.
At first, however, Margret's name was left off the cover, ostensibly because there was a glut of women already writing children's fiction.
In later editions, this was corrected, and Margret now receives full credit for her role in developing the stories.
Margret and her husband moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts in , in a house close to Harvard Square. Following her husband's death in , Margret continued writing, and in , became a Professor of Creative Writing at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Starting in , she also began to collaborate with Alan Shalleck on a series of short films featuring Curious George and more than two dozen additional books. In Margret Rey established the Curious George Foundation to help creative children and prevent cruelty to animals.
She was also a long-time supporter of the Longy School of Music. Rey to better observe the stars for his astronomy writing. After that, George ends up in peril again, when he clutches too many helium balloons at once, but again he escapes his peril. In the nineteen-nineties, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt commissioned and distributed additional early-reader Curious George stories that were not written or illustrated by the Reys.
Those stories were short and tended to focus on one simple mishap that was then made right. The seven original tales by the Reys are more like mini-picaresques. They lost their luggage but still had their prints for a story about a monkey named Fifi.
Their American publisher suggested that they choose a less French name. Margarethe Waldstein became Margret Rey. They had new business cards made, with their more marketable last name, and ran an advertising agency.
Only a naughty little monkey. The other constant is the reliably happy ending. A journal entry of H. Margret studied art and photography at the Bauhaus school. The Finnish writer Tove Jansson also turned to writing for children at nearly the same historical moment. Jansson had been a brilliant political cartoonist; the winter the Soviet Union invaded Finland, she began writing and illustrating a gentle story about a family of hippo-like woodland creatures, called Moomins, who are escaping a flood.
Thank you. These stories are written not necessarily for children under duress but, instead, by adults who are themselves in duress, and who now prefer to devote their time to making children happy. One featured a dog no one wanted to adopt, another an orphaned doll, a third a boy with a long name who falls in a well and almost drowns on account of it taking so long to say his name—a name that, it is implied, is a vanity. Another of the books was the somehow charming tale of a bully called Tulip.
What distinguishes the George stories is where the trouble is—almost never in a person, never in humanity. George lives in a super benign world, even if it is often strange and unfamiliar to him. This is different than living in a world that is familiar but crowded with evil or indifference. It has been noticed over the years that George has no tail. Even as all monkeys have tails. And the Reys, who lived with monkeys, are likely to have known this.
Also, tails are fun to draw. But we know that apes—that includes us—have no tails. George is at once an impossible monkey, a fantasy, and also, simply, one of us. By Rivka Galchen. For science, profit, and pride, China, the U. Enter your e-mail address.
