Curious George: Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys by H.A. Rey

A cute story that helps explain to young readers about the orignis of Curious George. Cecile Giraffe (who prefers to be known as Cecile G.) is quite sad, since her entire family has been taken away to the zoo. While she is drying her tears, a group of nine monkeys comes along to cheer her up. Cecily soon befriends these monkeys, which includes a highly energetic George. The monkeys and Cecily come up with some wonderful games, using height and agility to their advantage. When trouble strikes, Cecily and the nine monkeys are able to work together to solve it as a coordinated team. Neo liked this piece, which he listened to as a read-along book. He tells me that there are times when listening to a book makes it easier to be able to do other things at the same time. I have an audiobook reader in the making!
