I usually love Curious George books and the PBS cartoon counterpart. The lessons learned, the creativity of a project, the use of science and math are just a few of it's fine attributes. That said, this book is an utter disappointment. If you have seen the episode, "Low, High Score" you know the basics of the book. That said, the parts they used to tell the book version of the story cut out the unique creation and humor of the finished home-made mini-golf course. Ultimately, this book becomes a story of George becoming obsessed with winning and beating Steve. The "math" element is red dots scatted across the mini golf course with the numbers "1, 2, 3, etc" listed inside the dot to notate how many shots it took to get the ball in. Not bad, not great, and not of "Curious George quality" in my opinion. Ultimately, I feel the lessons of teamwork, friendship, creativity, and good sportsmanship are completely lost. One lesson I learned: I can no longer buy Curious George books sight unseen. I simply wouldn't have bought this book in the store, had I read it once.
Very cute book for the grandson of an avid golfer. Well constructed, not that usual flimsy paper children's books are made of, with bright pictures. I am sure they will read this more than once.Fast shipping was a bonus.
My five year old loves this book. This is been his go-to book every night for the last month. Yes, it could do a little better following the George episode "Low High Score" which this book is based off of, but, he's five, and he doesn't care. He loves to count the number of shots it takes for the different characters to get the ball in the hole. It is also an easier read for his age due to being a level 1 reader.The book itself is holding up well even though its been through a lot. It is paperback with a laminate type cover and back. In the center of the book, it does look some fibers from the binding is coming off a bit. But its still holding strong. This book is just as sturdy as the George books we have received from the Scholastic program from his preschool, which have held up well in the last year.
Great story and great imagery from the TV episode. My daughter wants me to read this to her almost every night. Best one of the easy reader series to date.
You can't go wrong with a Curious Monkey for little learners! We have many of these early readers for our 4 year old and got this one as a gift for his 4 year old cousin who loves golf (paired it with Spot It! Game, the Golf version) it was well received and we received it as communicated - no issues!

He gets the highest score and thinks that he won! He learns that the highest score in golf is not good. George creates his own game that he can win at!This book follows the GPB episode. Fans of the show will enjoy reading this. It includes a neat activities to try at the end!
My grandson loved getting this along with the indoor miniature golf set he received for Christmas. He had fun reading it together.
I don't know how you review a product like this, but what I can say is that my child really liked this book! I read it to see what the plot was. Here is a basic summary. George goes to play mini golf with two friends, Steve and Betsy. He thinks the highest score is best in golf (the lowest score is the best in golf!) so he tried to score the highest score possible on a course! After 9 (or was it 18) holes, George scored about 275 points! After Steve and Betsy tells him that 275 points is not good, George is puzzled. How is a low number greater than a high number? After this, Steve tell him he's not good at mini golf. After this, George decides to practice mini golf. But how can George practice? Suddenly, George has an idea! George and Betsy work together to build their OWN mini golf course! Steve, Betsy, and George play it. Can George get the lowest score? Or will George lose again? Find out by buying... and reading Curious George Plays Mini Golf by H. A. Ray.(Note: This book has 24 pages and includes instructions how to build your own mini golf course!) I know my child wanted to build one after he finished reading this book!
