I cringe when my 23-mo-old son requests this. It's super lame.

I normally don't review the children's books we read unless they are so good, I want to remember them. I often check goodreads though when choosing gifts though so want to warn buyers---this is the worst George book we've read.

George joins a class on a trip to the museum. The kids all complain and find rocks "boring" and ask "when's lunch?" Then George breaks the rules, as Curious monkeys do, by climbing on a dino exhibit, and suddenly the kids are interested. So he is thanked for helping the teacher.

There's no real information about dinosaurs or rocks, just the typical---Look, he's being naughty thing. We love George and don't expect books to always be informative. But this one informs in a very weird way about learning, boredom and rules. Weird.

Thanks to Nolie and Sean who helped me write this review:)
