I know this seems silly reviewing a kids book, but I vowed I would review every book that I completed, and this counts.

So George wants to go fishing. Good for him. But I don't know why George would model himself after a fisherman who is standing at the end of a pier looking like he's using a fly fishing pole in a lake. I'm surprised George was able to copy this guy so well without further getting a pipe to smoke either?

The next thing, George goes into his home (I hope it's his home) and starts just grabbing stuff to make his fishing pole. He takes presumably the only mop, thieves some cake, and then rips a hook off of the wall in order to make his pole. I can't imagine what would happen if my kids were to do that and traipse off to hang out at a lake.

Lastly, the end of the book is just George getting distracted by a guy flying a kite? Another stranger?

Not the best of the Curious George line, would recommend to people who don't have super impressionable children.
