Bookroo's summary
When a birthday gift arrives, a curious monkey named George is given an orange to distract him. But George's curiosity leads him to unwrap more than just the fruit, including the bathroom walls! As chaos unfolds, can everything be put back together? Join George on this playful adventure filled with surprises and mischief, and discover what happens when curiosity gets the better of him.
From the publisher
The Man with the Yellow Hat brings home a birthday present for a friend, and in an effort to distract George and prevent him from opening the gift, the man gives George an orange to “unwrap.” The curious monkey discovers that there are many other things to unwrap besides presents (like the bathroom walls with their peeling wallpaper!), but maybe not all of them can be rewrapped.Full-color activities: a matching and twenty questions game, a birthday idea space, and a think-more-about-it section.
