A pop up Curious George By H. A. Rey


Norman reviewing the book while Brad cuddles him.


This was a fun pop up book. Norman's favorite part of the story was when George escaped from prison. My favorite quote, "Down the street outside the prison stood a balloon man", what a cheerful thing to have outside a prison,

His favorite pop up was a pull tab flip book that detailed how the man in the yellow hat lured, then captured George in his native land, then kidnappped him and brought him to the big city. What is up with that? I thought George and the man in the yellow hat were like friends, not keeper and animal. Hmmm
