Another amazing staple in the children's books categories, this book follows George a very curious monkey who follows the man in the yellow suit thinking he might be a banana. Being curious we get to see George discover things on his own terms and his adventures. I think that this book is a perfect read for younger aged kids around the ages of 3-7
