Curious George and the man with the yellow hat are planning on taking a ride in a hot air balloon, but as George climbs in, he releases the rope tethering the balloon to the ground.  George and his friend, Bill, float away with the man with the yellow hat racing after them. Will they continue going higher?  Or will George and his curious ways help them get back to the ground? Includes a pinwheel (wind direction) activity and hot air balloon to color and label. H. A. Rey  and his wife,  Margret , first introduced the world to the bighearted, fun-loving, mischievous hero Curious George in 1941, and young readers have been in love with him ever since. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy Award–winning television show on PBS, and Pretzel and the Puppies , based on their picture books, is a streaming series on Apple TV+. curiousgeorge.com; pretzelandthepuppies.com
