He can read by flashlight and munch on snacks in his own special space. But something's wrong with the sandwich in a plastic baggie he's been saving there. It's mushy and blue! That's how George learns about mold, a living thing that sometimes grows on food. The Man with the Yellow Hat explains that George shouldn't eat a moldy sandwich, so when George finds blue and smelly cheese in the fridge, he assumes it's bad as well and throws it outside in the compost (lucky for Jumpy!).

When they finally pay their new neighbor a visit, the real story is even more interesting than George's theory. Being Hundley - George gets tired of being a monkey because monkeys have to clean their room, brush their teeth, and go to bed early.
