Curious George Plays Soccer
Description
When George sees his friend Gracie playing soccer in the park, he's eager to join in-so eager that he grabs the ball with his hands and throws it in the net! Lucky for George, there's a soccer camp starting at the rec center where he can learn the basic rules of the game and all about dribbling, passing, and what it means to be a team player. George has fun-and gets into a little mischief-at camp, but it's not until the final game that he finds the perfect position for him. When he does, he proves to his teammates, coach, and himself that he's their MVM-Most Valuable Monkey!
