Curious George at the Aquarium by Margret & H.A. Rey (2007) has little monkey George--you guessed it--creating havoc at an aquarium. Can George wait (alone) for the man in the yellow hat to buy tickets for them? Of course not! George climbs over a wall to follow the sound of a splash and he delights in discovering Beluga whales, a variety of fish, a “do not touch” display of live crabs, and so on. He joins the penguins to share in their comical play, and that’s when the predictable drama takes off. We can smile because Curious George redeems himself in the end.
