Tiffany Lange reads a story about Curious George at the library. George is curious and loves books. He causes chaos but helps clean up. George checks out books with his friend's help, including a dinosaur book. He leaves the library happy with his new books. Hello everyone, my name is Tiffany Lange. Today I'll read the tale about Curious George. This is the library, illustrated in the styles of HA3 by Martha Weston. This is George. He was a good little monkey and always very curious. Today George and his friend, the man with the yellow hat, were at the library. George has never been to the library before. He had never seen so many books before either. Everywhere he looked, people were reading. Some people read quietly to themselves. But in the children's room, the librarian was reading out loud. It was a story hour. George loved stories. He sat down with a group of children to listen. The librarian was reading a book about a bunny. George liked bunnies. Behind the librarian was a book about a dinosaur. George liked dinosaurs even more. He hoped that she would read it next. But the librarian read the book about a train. George tried to sit quietly and wait for a dinosaur book to be read. But sometimes it is hard for a little monkey to be patient. When the librarian started a story about jungle animals, George could not wait any longer. He had to see the dinosaur book. He ticked till closing. Look! A monkey! shouted a girl. The librarian's fingers to her lips. He must be quiet so everyone can hear. She said nicely. But there was a monkey! said a boy. The librarian nodded and smiled. She agreed. When she finished reading the jungle story, the librarian waited for the dinosaur book. Where did it go? And where is George? George was already take the dinosaur book home and read it with his friends when another book caught in his eye. The book about trucks, George wanted to take it home too. And here was a book about elephants. George loved elephants since he added to his pile. George found so many good books. He soon had more than he could carry. So he went against a shelf to rest. Squeak went the shelf, said a man. Squeak went the shelf again and it moved. Why? It wasn't a real shelf at all. George had found a special cart for carrying books. What luck! Now George carried all the books he wanted. He rolled the cart between the shelves and stacked up the books about boats and kites and baking cakes. He climbed it higher to reach books about planes and queens. At last, George had all the books he could handle. He couldn't wait to head home and start reading. At right in front of him was a ramp leading the door. George was curious. Could he roll the cart all the way home? Down the ramp, George went. The cart rolled faster and faster. Stop! A library boat, he shouted. Come back here with my cart. But George was too excited to listen. The cart was picking up speed and George was having fun. Until crash! And the cart smacked into a shelf of helicobiters. Books flew up in the air. And so did George. He landed in a big pile right between O and P. Oh no! Moaned the rotator when he saw the mess George had made. How am I going to put away all these books? With help from George and the children, the books were sorted in no time. Soon, there was just a small pile of George's favorites left. Would you like to take those books home with you? The rotator asked George and he took George to a special desk and helped him get his own library cart. George was holding his brand new cart when his friend arrived with a stack of books of his own. There you are, George, he said. I see you are all ready to check out. George and his friend gave the books to the librarian. She smiled when she saw George's pile. I'm wondering where this dinosaur book went, she said. It's one of my favorites too. The librarian then picked up the books and handed them back to George with his books under one arm. George waved goodbye to the rotator, the librarian, and the children from the story hour. Come and see us again, George, the librarian said waving back. Enjoy your books! And he did, the end. Thank you for listening!
