On their way to the museum, the Man with the Yellow Hat and George discover that Gnocchi the cat has been accused of scratching the booths in Chef Pisghetti's restaurant. George isn't sure that it was Gnocchi and sets out to solve the mystery. George uses reasoning to find out that the scratches he had seen on the booths were not like scratches he had seen Gnocchi make on the door and he uses pieces of food to measure the length and depth of the scratches.
George has found himself a new friend in the city, Compass. One of the Doorman's homing pigeons which he keeps on the roof of the apartment building. But the only thing is, Compass has a bad sense of direction. So when the Man says George is not allowed to let pigeons inside the apartment, George decides to build Compass a new home on the balcony outside their apartment, eventually deciding on a tree. But soon George finds out building a tree is not as easy as it seems. Where do trees in nature come from if people don't make them?
One day George is walking the street of his apartment building trying to find something to do when he notices a woman leaving numbered boxes outside every building. He decides to be a helpful monkey and return them to her until his friends Steve & Betsy tell him that she is a postal worker and that leaving boxes for people is her job. So they go on a race to see who can finish returning packages first. Winner plays Steve's video game. Steve has a plan to simply run fast but George and Betsy come up with a plan to sort all of the packages by the number of the buildings they go to.
On a sunny city Saturday, George and the Man decide that it is a good day for donuts and eggs. The Man tells George to write down the number of eggs they have in the refrigerator but George does not write anything because they had none. The Man then realizes that after teaching George everything for so long he forgot to teach him about nothing! He says that zero alone means nothing but when added to smaller numbers makes them bigger. The Man then sends George off to get the donuts with a paper that has an order of 1 Dozen Donuts. But George does not know about a dozen and changes the order to 100 dozen donuts. But after seeing just how many donuts 100 dozen make he tries to do anything to get away with only 1 dozen.
George and The Man have just brought home a new rug. The Man thinks it is so perfect he would like to take a picture of it. But when he runs out to get some camera batteries George decides to have a drink of grape juice and spills it on the rug! George knows how to clean it up, though—a lot of soap and water. But he uses so much he fills up the whole house with suds and water. Luckily he knows about the time his friends The Renkins' basement got flooded and they cleaned it out with a pump. George finds the pump at their house but has no easy way to get it back home.
George is off to the country boat building contest but on the way, he sees something interesting: a boat that carries cars on the water.

George wants to be the first person, or monkey in the world to count every star in the sky after Bill tells him that no one has done so. The only problem, though is that George can't stay up at night to count all of them. So he finds a system to keep track of which stars he has counted because, since you can't see stars in the day, he can only count at night.

He sees that cars stop at a red light but not at a green light making him guess that most people preferred a red light to a green one. Since the light is always changing, George is disappointed because there is not much time for people to enjoy one color. So, he changes the light so that all of one side is one color.

George must evenly divide the fish crackers to feed all 5 of them long enough to not know about the party until it is time.
George could not take a bath without his favorite bath toy, Sproingy the bubble-blowing frog. Which is good because he often winds up needing several baths a day! He soon runs into Steve and Betsy's pet washing business and learns all about bubbles and how they always wind up round. After losing his bath toy, though, George needs to find it and will not take another bath until he does. This is not good because he is dirty and is tracking dirt everywhere he goes.
George and The Man with the Yellow hat are going on vacation in Hawaii. But when they get to the airport, their plane is delayed. George receives a small toy airplane from the ticket woman but winds up losing it. He goes on a quest to try to hunt it down before they must board their flight but it seems like everyone in the airport is out to stop George from wandering around or causing trouble.

George and Hundley follow Gnocchi into the basement, only to have the door lock behind them. Uh-oh. George and Gnocchi can climb up and out the window, but Hundley can't. George comes to the rescue by constructing a ramp leading to the window that even the littlest Dachshund legs can climb. Now they just need to figure out where that baby went.
George has never seen a farmer's market before and finding one on his doorstep is just about the best thing ever -- until he drinks Juicy Jay's special blended juice and then that's the best thing ever! When the farmer's market leaves and there's no more juice, the Man with the Yellow Hat and George decide they need their own juicer. As they start to unpack their new purchase, the Man gets called away. A smart monkey can figure out a juicer on his own and recreate the special juice, right? It's certainly not as easy as it seems and certainly not a mess-free process!

He decides that he needs to insulate the house, because insulation is designed to keep a house warm, and unfortunately, sealing up all those holes makes Jumpy unwelcome. Feeling sorry for him, George decides to make a fully insulated house for Jumpy that will keep him warm and happy all winter.
