Title: Curious George Rides a Bike
Author: H. A. Rey
In Curious George Rides a Bike, George receives a bike to celebrate being with the man in the yellow hat for 3 years. He does some tricks and delivers newspapers, but gets distracted easily. He meets up with a circus and gets into trouble, but helps the circus with a situation and is forgiven.
The author has George do various tasks throughout the story that would interest children such as riding a bike, doing tricks on a bike, delivering the paper, building a boat, and being in a circus. The text was large so children could follow along, but sentences where often cut off and continued on the next page. The illustrations were simple and used four basic colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. The story was cute and I enjoyed the illustrations of the animals and what they did.

I loved Curious George books when I was younger. I think I read most if not all of them. I enjoyed the many different adventures that he went on. My little sister used to watch the show, and they seem to have changed it a little by making it more modernized.
