Curious George and the Summer Games, by Margret and H.A. Rey

Another classic adventure by our favorite friend, Curious George. This book has him participating in the summer games hosted by his local town. His enthusiasm assists him in persisting in his attempts at various sports, and failing at most, until he finds the one which suits him the best. Then it takes much practice and even an opportunity to offer some confidence needed by a friend to complete her competition even though she felt some stage fright.

Our lovable hero earned a ribbon for making new friends and learning a new sport. Reading or sharing this story, before a school field day or sports day event, would likely create anticipation and discussion. This likable story combined with classic illustrations, make for a great addition to your library or personal collection.
