The whole Curious George series has been a favorite of my kids. From very early on, we started reading them to them, and the older they got, the more there was to learn and understand from the books and the pictures. Some reviewers have complained that these are not the original Curious George books or that the plot is very repetitive. While these are not the originals, my kids do not seem to mind, and I don't think they are "worse" than the originals, just slightly different if at all.The plot is repetitive but that is because George is always getting into trouble so you have the same pattern--he gets curious, he does something naughty, something bad happens, then something good comes out of the bad event, and then everyone is happy and George is usually a hero. This does not bother me in the least. My kids find his adventures interesting and never get bored with that "plot." To them, it is funny and what makes Curious George funny. Sure, if this was an adult book then the repetition might be problematic but thankfully it is not an adult book!The illustrations are nice and detailed and provide a lot of material for my kids to look at while I read the story to them. The quality of the pages is good and it's nice that there is sometimes stickers or a little activity in the back, though truthfully my kids have never cared for them much.I like that there are many of these books because my kids become familiar with George and the concept of series, and can distinguish one book in the series from another and even have favorites.I really don't think you can go wrong with these books. I don't know many other kids that don't like these. They are a good investment!
Another cute curious George book about how he accidently presses the button that tips the dirt but ends up making a place for the ducks to rest in the pond. Any curious george fan will love this book especially boys since it has the dump truck!
The George books are all awesome! Our 4 year-old son has liked every one, and we've liked them. They're pretty quick and easy reading, takes 3-5 minutes to complete, depending on how long he want's to look at each page after you're done reading them. But they are good, cute stories, just like the shows, he laughs out loud and comments quite a bit as we're reading. If you watch the show and haven't read any of the books before, they are very similar in style and look to each other, as close as a kids book to a kids show can be. No one book has been any better or worse than any of the others, they're all very good. We will probably end up buying them all.
My 3 year old loves Curious George books and all kinds of heavy equipment so combining the two means it's one of his favorite books, and just like George he is always curious especially about George and why he is doing what he is doing. In our house both my 3 year old and 17 month old would sooner read about Curious George than watch tv.
The story is insipid, and I didn't particularly like this about it: George causes the dump truck to dump its load into the pond, but instead of being angry, the park workers say "Oh look, the ducks are having fun on the island that monkey made!" In the original Curious George books, George had to take a specific action to remedy his foul-ups. For example, in Curious George Rides a Bike, he redeemed himself with the animal show folks whose ostrich he'd almost killed by rescuing a baby bear. In this book, though, his big mistake just gets spun into a positive. Not a good message about healthy remorse and making amends.The best thing about this book is that it has George and a dump truck and ducks and stickers, and my toddler son likes George and likes dump trucks and likes birds and likes stickers. The stickers are fun, but be aware that only a few of them are related to the story. Most of them are just assorted transportation equipment drawn in the illustration style of the book.
Although my 2-year-old son is a bit young for this story length and complexity, he really enjoys Curious George and I know it will grow with him. Plus it's not too baby-ish for my 5-year-old daughter.
After reading the original 5 or 6 Curious George stories to my 2 year old son about a hundred times, it is refreshing to see some new adventures. We just picked up this book today after going to the dump and my son just loves it. The spirit of the original stories is still there while the artwork is slightly more crisp and detailed. I look forward to reading the other new stories!
The story is great and my kids love it. However the page breaks are awkward and the pictures don't match the text on the pages. Some of the pictures are very small and smashed to the top of the page. I wish I had been able to see how it was laid out on the kindle before I bought it.
