Beginning readers and their younger brothers and sisters can follow the beloved monkey's funny string of adventures through Mr. Rey's profusion of colorful cartoons. George, his curiosity to the fore, is ecstatic with the new bike his owner has given him. He helps the newsboy deliver papers, then makes boats of the rest of the papers to sail in a stream. Enthralled with his handiwork, George absentmindedly bangs up his front wheel and through a new set of ingeniously interrelating circumstances, gets coralled by a visiting circus and ends as star of the animal show that evening.
