Curious George
King Doggie/The Lucky Cap
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.
King Doggie
When a limo pulls up to the doorman's lobby, the Princess of Bratvia steps out and scoops up Hundley, claiming that he is a royal doggie! To verify this, the Princess's aide measures him, and sure enough, Hundley's head is three buckles high, his body is four stripes long, and, most importantly, he has the purple mark of Bratvian royalty on his chest. So Her Highness takes Hundley, aka Barkington XV, off to his new palace, but soon the princely pup grows weary of luxury and longs for his lobby. So it's up to George to convince the royals that Hundley, although dignified, is just a regular dog of the people. True, Hundley's measurements are indeed those of a king doggie — but could the leftover grape jelly on his chest be a clue to his real identity?
The Lucky Cap
George's day goes from bad to worse. He spills a bowl of milk, gets caught in a downpour, and can't get past that seven square in hopscotch. But then the Man with the Yellow Hat gives George a new cap, and the moment George puts it on, his misfortunes turn into windfalls: he finds a quarter, gets a free shopping spree at Dulson's Toy Store, and wins his first hopscotch game ever! When the Man washes the hat, however, George's bad luck returns — it has shrunk so small that it barely fits on his head. Without the hat, George needs to figure out how to count to 25 in order to win Steve's Extreme Hopscotch Challenge. Will George discover that brainpower is a force more powerful than luck?
