review 1: Booklist (February 15, 2009 (Vol. 105, No. 12))Preschool-Grade 1. When Curious George visits a science museum, he learns about the environment and hears about an upcoming recycling rally. Back at home, he loads empty cartons and old papers into his wagon. The next day, he happily picks up more papers to fill his wagon. His neighbors, angry to find their just-delivered newspapers gone, chase George all the way to the rally. After the man with the yellow hat arrives and explains George’s mistake, they stay to help plant trees. The book concludes with 20 child-centered “Living Green” tips, such as “Use both sides of your paper.” and “Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth,” which are illustrated on the book’s cheerful endpapers. With the tone of both ar... moret and story reminiscent of the original Curious George series, this picture book offers young children an appealing introduction to reusing and recycling.Horn Book (Fall 2009)Written by Monica Perez. Pulling a wagon of recyclables to the park for a "Green Day rally," Curious George, trying to help, tosses his neighbors' just-delivered newspapers and other still-needed items into the mix. The pursuing angry mob forgives George, and everyone plants trees at the rally. There's nothing new here in story or art, but readers may find the appended conservation tips useful.
