Enjoying gymnastics class so much, George, Allie, and Bill want to practice every day and decide to turn the backyard into a gym.

George is looking for a way to beat the summer heat, and swimming, running through sprinklers, and drinking a glass of lemonade aren't enough to help him cool off. What he really wants is a sweet, cold treat from the ice cream truck. But will he ever catch it?

Curious George can't wait to join the Uptown Bluegrass Band for a good old-fashioned country hoedown. When George accidentally ruins the man's guitar while trying to clean it, George and Allie decide to make a new guitar! With a shoestring, rubber band, fishing wire, and yoyo, George and Allie's creation has a truly unique sound! Bonus activities help reinforce the concepts in the story, including instructions for building your very own homemade string...

Curious George is excited to ride the subway to the zoo. He gets separated from his friend, the man with the yellow hat.
