Curious George's inquisitive nature lands him in the hospital after he swallows a puzzle piece. As he navigates the unfamiliar world of doctors and nurses, George discovers new friends and learns about hospital life. Will his curiosity help him overcome his fears and recover? Join George on this heartwarming journey that turns a tummy ache into an adventure, offering young readers a comforting glimpse into what to expect during a hospital visit.

From the publisher

Readers learn all about the hospital as George goes in for an operation to remove a puzzle piece he has eaten. “While beginning readers are convinced that they are enjoying themselves with George, their supervising adults are equally sure that they are learning something. Both are absolutely right.” – Kirkus Reviews
