I purchased this book for my one year old, and what FUN it is!I even took it to his day care, so his teacher could shareit with the class, and she told me my son's classmates loved it.Every time I pull out this book, my son begins to clap.The Curious George puppet is easy to operate with a finger and thumb, and the pages are veryeasy to turn as you read the story aloud.This is a wonderful interactive board book.
This is such a great puppet book - my 11 month old loves it! She loves to play pat-a-cake and enjoys the different versions in this book. It begins with the traditional one, then has one about ice cream, about the postman, the man in the yellow hat (best friends) and it has a very nice sing-songy type of rhythm. Instead of moving George's head though, you move his "hands" to clap as you read. My daughter will clap along and give George a "high-five" - he is also pretty cuddly for a puppet attached to a book and will give him a snuggle too. A loveable book, for sure! I do wish that you could use a third finger to move his head but it doesn't make much difference overall.
I use this book in my work with developmentally delayed toddlers. These kiddos LOVE this book! Even kids who won't look at any other book will at least turn a page or two of this book. I should add that I usually don't use puppets with kids at this developmental level but the way these hands clap seem to be very engaging to kids in the 18 month-2.5 year range (remember these kids are delayed so younger kids may also enjoy it).I sometimes do Pat-a-cake with "George" but other times I just make the hands clap and say "yay" or make him wave and say "hi!" I'm trying to get any response out these kids. They ALL smile, they all attend for a bit of time, and a lot of them try to hug George. Sweet~The book itself has some new takes on "pat-a-cake". The kids I work with can relate to the b-day cake, balloons, but not so much to the mailbox. I usually just stick to traditional pat-a-cake but the new versions are cute.
My daughter got one of these books for her first birthday and a year and a half later, she still loves to have it read to her. The Curious George puppet really engages children. We love the book so much that we bought one for our friends' daughter.
Adorable little book but it's not wrapped in plastic so arrived dirty and bent. That is the only reason for it not receiving 5 stars. My granddaughters love the little puppets on the front of these books. It helps keep them loving books.
The cutout for the monkey isn't super great and it seems like the puppet is already pulling out of the book and I haven't had it long. The last page is also an odd phrasing which doesn't keep well with the rhythm/song.
I bought this one for my 1-year-old granddaughter because she loved the Clap Your Hands! (Sesame Street) (Puppet Book) so much and they don't have any other Sesame Street puppet books like the Elmo one - so even though she is a little young to know who Curious George is, she loves the fact that the monkey moves his arms and waves at her while I read the book to her. I highly recommend this puppet book and the Elmo "Clap Your Hands" puppet book for any young toddler.
shown this to a lot of kids and their moms and they all love it! their moms hug them when it says "hug" in the book, so it becomes interactive (plus the pat-a-cake movements are interactive). the puppet is adorable.
