First, in the City, Curious George attends his first baseball game, as he accompanies Marco to Endless Park, where Tiger Babies challenge Marco's Bear Cubs.
Now, as Marco's parents cheer Marco and Curious George, Bear Cubs Coach prepares Marco for batting practice, and Coach invites Curious George to warm-up with team
Well, Curious George plays outfield and tosses glove into air to catch flying baseball, leading Coach to comment about Curious George's nice glove-work and running speed.
Then, when Announcer reports that Score-keeper has boo-boo and can't make it to game, Coach and Marco recruit Curious George to keep score.
And then, Curious George loses the number cards when the bottom of the box falls open, and the numbers fall out of order! When Marco scores a home run, Curious George posts a "5," but when he is called to correct his mistake, Curious George posts an "8," leading Marco to take time from game to teach Curious George his numbers, with a song to identify the correct numeric order. (Curious George often learns his counting lessons, but evidently forgets the value of numbers from one season to another.)
But, when Concession Stand Vendor must leave, Curious George volunteers to substitute for her, but he has forgotten what numbers follow 10, and mixes up the customers' orders from 11 through 18.
Yet, when Concession Stand Vendor returns, she must teach Curious George how to count numbers in their teens, then allowing Curious George time to return to the scoreboard, but now Marco cannot run if he hits the ball, so Coach recruits Curious George to run bases.
So, do you think that Curious George will now be able to straighten the score and run bases to score "George's Home Run?"

Next, in the County, Curious George bundles up on a cold but sunny winter morning, to play in the ice and snow, to discover Bill the Country Neighbor Boy'd sawing ice blocks to construct an igloo, in order to spend the night inside, to earn his Winter Camping Scout merit badge credit.
Now, when Curious George flubs the project, Bill explains the proper method for fitting ice blocks, to fit together the igloo, and to shape and to smooth blocks, before fitting the keystone, and patching corners with snow.
Well, once Curious George crawls inside with Bill, Curious George discovers its size much smaller than he anticipates. but now Curious George decides to construct his very own igloo, with help from the Man with the Yellow Hat.
Then, once complete, Curious George saws a igloo window and indicates to the Man with the Yellow Hat that he wants to spend the night inside his igloo, larger than Bill's, which stands across the fence from his very own.
And then, the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Curious George to be a good little monkey, as he spends the night outdoors in the frigid, snowy weather, so now Curious George must find a way to cover his open window. Curious George then hikes across the yards to see how Bill is doing, but Bill sleeps soundly, which is a good thing, so Curious George examines the exterior of Bill's igloo, to remember that Bill has patched its cracks with snow, to keep out the cold winter winds.
But Curious George decides to try a different idea, to carry his igloo into the living room, and then he turns off the furnace to cause the Man with the Yellow Hat to shiver beneath his covers, so the Man with the Yellow Hat returns downstairs to reactivate the thermostat, but does not notice Curious George's indoor igloo.
Yet, when Bill visits, he informs the Man with the Yellow Hat that Curious George is not in his igloo, the Man with the Yellow Hat discovers himself standing barefoot in puddles resulting from Curious George's melting igloo!
So, what do you think will happen during Bill's merit badge ceremony, as the Man with the Yellow Hat plays the tuba before various Country residents, to celebrate "Monkey on Ice?"
