Grownups, as well as children of all ages, are still in love with and falling in love with Curious George over and over again. This charismatic, clever, curious little monkey gets himself in a heap of trouble at the animal shelter, but saves the day after being an "animal rescue monkey." H. A. Ray always creates ways to keep my four-year-old (five next month) little boy's attention with his hilarious adventures that Curious George participates in within all his different books. Our Curious George collection of books is growing. Curious George and the Puppies is one of my son's favorite books. He loves when I read to him, he loves Curios George, and he loves puppies. All children should be more than satisfied with this selection. I got my copy in almost brand-new condition for merely pennies. Thanks !!!
Great Curious George book. It is huge though. I was expecting a more standard size board book...it is really big. Perfect for reading bedtime stories. My kids have really gotten into Curious George lately, so this is perfect.
This past weekend we visited a bookstore and my son wanted not one, but SEVEN Curious George books to add to his collection (he already had several at home). Curious George and the Puppies was one of those books.Curious George and his friend were in a park when they noticed a lost kitten who looked frightened. This delightful tale follows Curious George as he accompanies The Man With the Yellow Hat to the Animal Shelter to find the kitten a home.While there, the director tells them that they're looking for a puppy that got out of his cage. As usual, TMWTYH leaves George unattended (!) and George ends up opening up a cage filled with dogs.All the animals were making noise and chaos ensues. The director and TMWTYH put all the dogs back in the cage, but the craziness results in a very happy ending for all!This 24-page book is geared towards ages 4-8, but it seems to have more text than most Curious George books. As such, it's great for beginner/intermediate readers. The illustrations are by Vipah Interactive, done in the style of H.A. Rey.Curious George and the Puppies is one of the best of the CG stories because, unlike some of the books, no one goes ballistic on George--even to the extent of calling him names or trying to grab him in anger.
My 2 1/2-year-old son really enjoys this book (along with the lap edition of Curious George and the Firefighters). It's a nice story, and George is his usual cute and curious self. I like the large size and board book format - it makes it easy to read at the table or with multiple kids at once, and the pages are easy for toddlers to turn. (Definitely note the size before you buy, though, because a smaller/non-board-book version of this would be better for some situations.)
Got this for my Grandson and he loves it. He will get the book out and though he can't read he pretends he can, and turn through the pages. There is never a worry with the hard board books, they are so durable. Arrived excellent condition and quick.
The story is just fine and as one would expect, but the Kindle edition is horribly formatted and i do not recommend it. The text appears both imbedded in an unreadably small font in each page's scanned image but also in larger text above the picture. The problem is that the two do not match up, as the text is for the previous image. You do not get the correct larger text to match a pic until you are on the next page. Absolutely useless if you are trying to read to a child who wants to see a picture that corresponds to what you are reading.
This was perfect when my daughter was very little. It was easy for her to sit and flip through. Now, she enjoys it more. She's 2, and she can hold it in her lap and flip the pages. It's like a giant board book! And of course there are puppies!
Curious George is always perfectly drawn. And I like the stories that are created around him. I just have difficulty with a monkey in captivity. And I find the man in the yellow hat a bit creepy. If I can set aside my initial reservations and prejudices, this book was an adorable story.When I read this book to my five-year-old son, he saw Curious George as a five-year-old boy. He enjoyed the story, and I enjoyed the artwork.
