He has the money by week's end but gets distracted en route to the shop, leaving his piggy bank at the playground. Luckily for George, a girl turns in his piggy bank, and in a good-deeds turn, he shares the money. Voila! A cheaper train car and a friend. Although a bit message heavy, the story offers a math connection that teachers will enjoy, and fans will love more Curious George.--Austin, Patricia Copyright 2010 BooklistHorn Book ReviewIn his latest adventure, Curious George loses his piggy bank after saving up to buy a fancy train from a toy store. This book is determined to teach its readers about addition, hard work, and the importance of rewarding kindness. The result? Not much fun. The art, ostensibly in the style of H. A. Rey, is tepid. Cardboard coin bank is included. (c) Copyright 2013. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
