Summary: Curious George is the delight of childrenof all ages.
Review: Curious Georga has long since been a favorite of mine. When I stumbled across "The Complete Adventures of Curious George" I had to purchase it for my children. Starting January 1996 my husband or I read a Curious George Story before bedtime for our children, then ages 3 and 2. As the children have gotten older we have been able to use Curious George as a teaching aide, thinking about our actions before we get into mischief like George always does. I recommend this book for anyone with children, especially those with children that get into mischief.

Summary: Sends the wrong message to children
Review: Curious George gets kidnapped from his natural habitat in an African jungle by a "nice" man who throws a sack over him, bundles him onto a ship and takes him to America where he puts him in a "nice" zoo. Is this the kind of "niceness" we want our children to learn?

Summary: My 3-year old daughter can't sleep without Curious George!
Review: Every night, my 3-year old daughter has to have the first Curious George story read to her. We've read all the other ones, but the first one is her favorite. It's gotten to the point that I've memorized all the words -- which is exactly my point: I love each and every one of them. Curious George is still every bit as wonderful the hundredth time through! A minor warning: characters in the books, including Curious George, do smoke, which does worry the father in me just a bit. All in all, though, it doesn't get much better than these classics.

Summary: Great gift for Uncles to give to nieces & nephews
Review: Fantastic book -- great "heirloom" quality item that will be remembered forever. Bought this book for my 3-year-old niece -- then tried to back out of giving it to her because I got all nostaligic. Big fight with my sister-in-law. Niece ended up with the book -- I came off looking like the bad guy. If you want to score big this Christmas, buy them this book. But don't get too attached to it. Remember -- you're a grown-up.

Summary: All-time Children's Favorite, but a Whopper of a Volume!
Review: Growing up in the 1960's, "Curious George" was "required reading" for American children, at least in the Northeast, and the original stories gathered in this volume still stand as all-time favorites in American children's literature. Our little ones love these stories the most, just like all the reviewers here say. And this is a beautifully presented collection, including the informative background info on the authors, H.A. & Margret Rey, altogether a wonderful book. So why am I giving it 3 stars, a "medium" score? Because as a parent, and from a "buyer beware" point of view, this edition is really quite a Whopper of a volume to handle for the age group of children it is intended for, similar in bulk to an encyclopedia. Our 3-yr.-old struggles with it a bit, but when our 1-yr-old tries to wrest it from the shelf we go running to prevent it from coming down on her foot. It's the only book on the little ones' shelf of dozens of books, that when it's off the shelf (and it often is), all the other books start to tilt over! I was wondering whether it may have been wiser to go with the original "skinny" volumes with one story in each. Also, very early on with this book a page became detached during normal kids' handling, partly due to its cumbersome weight, or that the binding may not be sturdy enough for a volume of this size. So I'd advise, that if the parents are the ones who would handle the book as they read to their small children, then this really is "The Best of George" in one place. But if your kids like to pick out their own books and read, the thinner editions would be easier for them. For anyone yet unacquainted with these stories, a good place to start would be the special edition of the first story "Curious George" which features H.A. Rey's original watercolor illustrations, which were never published in the original editions due to limitations of the color-separation process. Another great classic children's favorite published the same year as Curious George-1941-is "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. The little ones never tire of it, and if you like antique cars and angelic policemen you'll get a kick out of it yourself!
