curious George Is Having Great Fun At Betsy's Birthday Party Where A New Experience Awaits Him: A Pinata. He Knows From The Smell That Good Things Are Inside, But How Will He Ever Be Able To Hit It When He Is Blindfolded And Unable To See It? His Buddy Steve Takes Him On A Sensory Journey Through The City Where He Learns To Navigate Using Other Senses, Such As Touch, Smell, And Sound. Unfortunately His Antics Are Not Zany Enough To Elicit A Chuckle From The Reader, But They Are Ill-advised Enough To Elicit A Parent's Disapproval—turning On A High-pressure Fire Hose By Accident And Running Through A Kitchen Full Of Steaming Hot Food With His Arms Outstretched. At One Point, He Stops To Pet A Cat Named Gnocchi, Which Most Adults Cannot Properly Pronounce, Much Less Children Learning To Read. In The End, George Uses His Other Senses To Make Contact With The Elusive Pinata, Spilling Candy Everywhere And Finally Enjoying His Fifth Sense, Taste. Bright, Cartoonish Illustrations May Please Viewers Of The Television Series. Reviewer: Michele C. Hughes
