Curious George Visits a Police Station

Reach for this book when your child's natural curiosity leads them to 'help' in ways that create accidental messes or when they are feeling anxious about figures of authority like the police. It is a gentle tool for discussing how well-meaning actions can have unintended consequences, and how we can make things right when we overstep boundaries. In this adventure, George's fascination with a police station's equipment leads to a bit of chaos and a brief stay in a cell. However, the story focuses on the kindness of the officers and the importance of community helpfulness. It is a classic choice for preschoolers and early elementary students to learn that the police are helpful community figures, while also reinforcing the need to follow rules in public spaces.
