Nicer than Expected

Like so many people who grew up with Curious George, I always remembered these books, and these were always my number one favorites. When I saw that these are combined in one book, it went to the top of my wish list for Christmas, and I was delighted to receive it. Perhaps it's just been so many years since I read it, but I was drawn into the artwork even more deeply than I'd known to appreciate as a child (so apparently simple, but then so very engaging) and still giggled out loud at the stories (and wondered what would happen next since I'd forgotten). Sure, in today's times a book for children that involves snatching up a wild monkey and includes smoking or drinking probably isn't nearly as acceptable as it was in the days I grew up (just fine in my opinion, by the way), but this was for me - an all grown up kid who still loves, loves, loves the adventures of a very curious little monkey above all else, even more than I remembered. The book feels nice and hefty, and the pages are so, so smooth, too. I know the ones from the library as a kid were not nearly so smooth, so this was an extra treat!

Curious George for father &son

I purchased this wonderful book for our 4 year old grandsons birthday. His dad's favorite toy as a small child was his stuffed Curious George which he still has at age 42. It gives us great pleasure seeing him read Curious George books to his son now many years later. This collection is great and brings back many memories.

great book

Service by seller was nothing special - usual delivery speed. Book is great for reading to toddlers. One of the best children book ever.

Dull and strange

I read a couple of these to my daughter, and they are ok. But one really struck me as uncomfortably strange - "George goes to the moon". It is about curious george taking part in experiments in space - and how much fun he has doing so.

I looked for another in the series say "curious george and the polio vaccine" or "curious george volunteers to visit the vivisectionists" or even "curious george and the bush meat trade".

I understand why we need to experiment on animals. But there is something wrong in us pretending to kids that it's fun for the animal.

"This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good little monkey, and always very curious." With these words, H. A. and Margret Rey introduced the world to Curious George in 1941, and the world has loved him ever since. The tales of this cheerful and resilient little hero have kept generations of readers enthralled and entertained. Now, in recognition of the sixtieth anniversary of his debut, Houghton Mifflin proudly presents a special edition of George's best-loved adventures.
