It's the first day of Ramadan, and George is celebrating with his friend Kareem and his family. George helps Kareem with his first fast and joins in the evening celebration of tasting treats and enjoying a special meal. Then, George helps make gift baskets to donate to the needy, and watches for the crescent moon with the man in the yellow hat. Finally George joins in the Eid festivities to mark the end of his very first Ramadan. This playful tabbed board book, with a foil-stamped cover, makes a great holiday gift for all fans of Curious George—those who celebrate Ramadan, and those who are learning about it for the first time!

My three kids - ages 2, 2, and 5 love Curious George. This book was a fun and cute introduction to the concepts of Ramadan and fasting. We are a mixed Christian/Jewish family. I am trying to raise the kids to understand the basic principals of and to respect other religions as well. Great little book.
Just recieved this yesterday and my daughter immediately squealed with delight! Its a GREAT resource for introducing other religions to your children, because being opened minded is extremely important now more than ever. I will definitely be recommending it!
My 2 year old loves Curious George and so I purchased this immediately after hearing about it. Her eyes widened when she saw it and she exclaimed "MONKEY!". She enjoyed having me read it aloud to her and loved the pictures. Growing up I didn't have anything in popular culture that I could relate to on a level like this. I'm so happy that my daughter can have something that makes you feel you are a part of American culture and not an other.For children of other faiths it can bridge understandings and expand their minds to other traditions and experiences. The book is not preachy at all and Curious George does not join the fast. His friend Kareem decides he's ready to fast that year and Curious George helps him keep his mind off food until it's time to break fast. I grew up reading Christmas, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year and other faith and cultural tradition books and it only helped me understand others better and know more about the world at a young age.
A great addition to our George collection. A sweet story led by George being kind and learning about his new friend Kareem's ramadhan experience. It is in depth enough for older kids and also fun to keep the younger ones interested. 2 thumbs up from my 4 year old.
This is the first book that I bought my daughter (3 years old) about Ramadan. We love it! It explains different thing about Ramadan like fasting, suhoor, prayer, and charity as well as celebration. It made the perfect conversation opener. The illustrations are also cute and I love how all of the Muslim characters look diverse.
My children counted down the days before this book arrived (we pre-ordered before the release date). It's so wonderful to find a Ramadan and Eid book using popular characters. It's well written, like all the other Curious George books, and covers fasting, charity, and Eid in a child-friendly way. It's a good book to buy to either expose your child to other religious holidays or allow your Muslim child to have a book that easily relates to them.
We had pre-ordered this book, and when it came in the mail, my 3 kids were very excited to see it! It is a very nice book for kids - a fun way to explain Ramadan to the young ones. My kids loved seeing George with Muslim friends and sharing in the spirit of Ramadan and Eid. I think the author, Hena, did an amazing job.
This book is absolutely wonderful. It is accessible to children of all ages (mine is 3yo) and faiths (we are not Muslim). I adore the gentle, engaging prose and universal themes of friendship, charity, and joyful celebration. It is such a valuable (and sadly, rare) counterpoint to the Islamophobic messages surrounding our children. Would not hesitate to buy again!!!!!
