George goes to the chocolate factory with his friend to buy some chocolates. His friend asks him to stay put while he buys some chocolates. Soon George wanders off to have a look about and needless to say, he gets up to mischif.This book was my first Curious George purchase for my 3 and 5 year olds. (I have subsequently received more as gifts from friends but must say, I am not a fan). I am in no way impressed at either story or illustration. The story fails to deliver any of the elements I require from a children's book. Imagination, good illustrations, captivation, fun, "again mummy" factor, etc.
It's just a story.
 A delightful book! July 9, 1999

My three-year-old absolutely loves this book. The story is very cute and the illustrations are wonderful! My son likes to pretend he's eating the chocolates off the page that shows which swirls indicate which fillings. And the drawings of the factory itself, where the machines look like friendly robots complete with smiling faces, are priceless! A very enjoyable book that will be read again and again!
We love this book: monkeys and candy are our favorites! March 2, 1999

We enjoyed seeing George get into trouble and then, as always, end up saving the day. We learned how to tell what's inside a piece of chocolate by looking at the swirls on top. We tested that fact ourselves and it works!
This is the cutest, you'll love every word. February 3, 1999

Being a curious george fan, reading this book brings a smile and a happy face. Just by looking at the colorful pictures and what curiousity brings George, makes you cherish this story with your children and with yourself.
