Curious George Goes to a Chocolate Factory by Margret Rey, H.A. Rey
Curious George recreates an I Love Lucy episode, speeding up a chocolate candy conveyor belt, stuffing his face to keep up, and saving the day - by packing candy into boxes with his toes. Personally I'd rather not consume chocolate touched by monkey feet, but maybe people in George's world are into it. That's only one of the mysteries in this story! Others include how the machine makes squiggles (George never finds out) and how the conveyor belt gets back to its normal setting at the end. Plus, you know, the logistics of a stray monkey wandering around a food processing facility.
A couple cool things about this book: First, it lists a "squiggle code" that claims the decorative designs atop boxed chocolates indicate the candy's flavor. If this is true, Valentine's Day just got a lot more delicious! (No more bite testing to find the best flavors!) Second, the machines in the factory all had mechanical faces! The kids I read the book to had fun finding as many as they could. Third, there's a weird recipe for chocolate noodle bird's nest (???) on the back cover. Pretty cool!
