George takes a giant leap for monkeykind when he gets suited up and blasts off into space in this out-of-this-world interplanetary adventure.
This lively story captures George's adventure of becoming the first space monkey from the classic Curious George Gets a Medal.
Praise for the Curious George books
"What distinguishes the George stories is where the trouble is—almost never in a person, never in humanity. George lives in a super benign world, even if it is often strange and unfamiliar to him. This is different than living in a world that is familiar but crowded with evil or indifference . . . George is at once an impossible monkey, a fantasy, and also, simply, one of us." —The New Yorker
"Curious George certainly deserves a spot on the shelf, and these engaging stories will provide a good exercise in imagination and creativity." —The Horn Book
