Inspired by a vignette in the classic Curious George Flies a Kite, this amusing episode shows George at his curious best trying to catch a fish.

When George sees a man fishing in the water, he decides to fish too. George makes a fishing pole out of a mop, a string, a hook, and some cake for bait. He throws the fishing pole in the water and—what’s that? George has a bite! George pulls the string in, but he’s too late—the fish and the cake are gone. Fishing is hard! George accidentally falls in the water, and that’s when his friend Bill finds him. They fly a kite together and George realizes being on the end of the kite’s string is better than a fish's. H. A. Rey's classic artwork and lovable characters will inspire readers of all ages to explore their passions.
