Curious George
Curious George, Web Master/The Big Sleepy
Since 1941, kids have delighted in the adventures of Curious George in the book series that has sold more than 27 million copies in 17 languages. Now George swings over to television. The TV series Curious George portrays the little monkey who lives to find new things to discover, touch, spill, and chew, inviting kids to explore science and math.
Based on the best-selling Curious George books by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey, the series expands George's world to include new characters and locales. Each episode includes two animated stories, followed by short live-action pieces showing real kids who are investigating the ideas that George introduces in his stories. Actor William H. Macy narrates.
Curious George, Web Master
While the Man is repainting the Endless Park statue for City Heritage Week, his Yellow Hat blows away. George races to recover his friend's treasure and stumbles across an elaborately spun spider web. Can a monkey become a web spinner and catch whatever he wants? George wants to try, so he uses thread, rubber bands, tape, and twine to create his own traps. The big test of his web spinning skills, however, comes back at the park when stormy weather threatens both the Man's newly painted statue and the spider webs that inspired his web building in the first place. Can George find a way to use tarp and trees and become a true web master?
The Big Sleepy
Bill and George go fishing on a brisk fall day. Noticing that George is cold, Bill explains that if George were a bear, he'd be able to hibernate and thus skip the cold and sleep through the winter. George thinks this is a great idea! So he prepares for his own hibernation by eating everything in the house and decorating his room to resemble a dark cave to keep out the light. But why isn't he tired? Maybe he could get to sleep if he could block out the noises, too. George discovers that pillows and extra blankets may be able to muffle animal noises, but what can possibly block out the Man with the Yellow Hat's tuba sound?
