It's Christmastime! And irrepressible, excitable Curious George has just the spirit for it. He can't wait to help his best friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat, pick out their holiday tree. At the tree farm, however, amid all the excitement of finding the perfect specimen, George gets carried away, as usual—atop his favorite tree! Hiding in the tree's branches, George finds himself delivered to the local children's hospital, where his tree trimming antics cheer the children and he gets to meet a jolly man in a bright red suit.

      PreS-Gr 1-Curious George goes Christmas tree shopping with the man in the yellow hat, and climbs into a tree that gets delivered to a childrens hospital. Although lost, the little monkey makes the best of the situation by decorating the boughs with such items as gauze, X-rays, and crutches and by changing the name tags on all the presents. All ends well as the young patients are entertained and the man with the yellow hat arrives to collect his companion. The text is stilted, and both the plot and illustrations owe a great deal to Margret and H. A. Reys "Curious George Goes to the Hospital" (Houghton, 1966). Still, the illustrations capture the look, if not the flavor and charm, of the originals, and so this book will likely be popular with young Curious George fans."Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library"

      In this holiday-themed offering from the celebrated monkey's lackluster "new adventures," the Christmas tree George is climbing gets cut down then is carried off to a children's hospital, where George means well but causes predictable trouble. A visit from Santa concludes the tepid tale. The illustrations "in the style of H. A. Rey" have some problems with visual perspective.
