The toddlers really enjoy Curious George and expected to see him in this book. Unfortunately he is not the highlight, rather the alphabet shaped animals are. If your child is asking for Curious George this is not the book. If you are looking for animals shaped into the alphabet this is perfect. The Opposites Curious George book turned the babies into George ("Monkey") fanatics and they loved that one, always ask for it. This one only features a tiny monkey in the corners of the pages.
Curious George makes it fun to learn your ABCs. At the day care where I work, we use it quite a bit for teaching the children their alphabet. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to teach a child.
In "Curious George's ABCs," one of the most famous characters from children's literature guides the reader through the alphabet. Each entry is illustrated by a noun that begins with that letter. To reinforce the alphabet, each letter is actually incorporated into the illustration. For example, the alligator's mouth opens in an angle that physically encloses the letter "A".Curious George, the loveable monkey of the title, shows up as an observer or participant in most of the entries. As illustrated by H.A. Rey, George is as appealing as ever. I especially liked the illustration of George, bundled up in a snowsuit, looking at an "icy icicle." This is a good book for children learning the alphabet.
H. A. Rey, Curious George's ABCs (Houghton Mifflin, 1998)Purists beware: Curious George's ABCs, the Houghton Mifflin board book, is "based on" Rey's 1963 book Curious George Learns the Alphabet. Most of the text has been removed, as well as all of the lowercase letters. Still, as an early primer on letters, it's useful enough, and the capital-letter illustrations are the originals, so you still get some--just not all--of that Rey magic. ** ½
All of my kids (ages 2-5) like this book. It helps them learn the alphabet and the illustrations are fun. It also helps my younger kids learn various new words. The other thing I like about this book is that there isn't much text, but the book is nonetheless very interactive because kids get to call out the letters and the things associated with those letters.
My year and a half old son loves this book, it's one of his favorites. He hasn't actually learned the alphabet from it yet, but he knows a li-li and a goose when he sees one, and likes to find George ("Joge") sprinkled throughout.
My son loves the alphabet and Curious George so I was so excited to get this book for him. Unfortunately, both my son and I were disappointed and he lost interest quickly while we read it. The images are not very eye catching and the letters on each page are not very defined.
My son (15 months) loves his Curious George books, but he doesn't love this book. George isn't the main character in the book. Each letter is a different character (A-Alligator) and George is seen just a tiny bit throughout the book. I wouldn't actually call this a Curious George book!
