Summary: GET A GRIP, PEOPLE!!!!!
Review: How could anyone write a bad review of these priceless books? Does anyone really believe these stories will lead children to think that it is a good idea to go off with someone who throws a sack over their head? These are absolutely delightful books that generations of children have enjoyed and read to their own children. George is a hero kids can understand. He gets into predicaments because of his curiosity, but he has a conscience, knows when he has messed up, and always makes amends for his behavior--lessons desparately needed these days. People will be reading Curious George to their kids a hundred years from now. The stories are timeless, and it is great to have them collected in one durable edition.

Summary: Memories of old and new
Review: I absolutely loved Curious George when I was a child. It is so thrilling to watch that same excitement in my 3 y.o. daughter. She practically begs me to read her a story from the book every night. During the day, she loves to flip through the book looking for her favorite pictures. It's not often that children enjoy the same things that delighted their parents as children. I am so happy to able to share these stories with her!

Review: I adore the Curious George books, this is a wonderful book. I think it teaches kids to be responsable for their actions. The books show that with every action there is a consequences.

Summary: We read this book every night!
Review: I bought this book when my three year old was born, and we have been reading it ever since. We can read other books during the day, but at night, only Curious George will do. Since the stories are rather long (50-60 pages, albeit with large text and lots of pics), I now have my son read the stories to me, and he has memorized them all by using the illustrations as cues. We also have discussions about how George must feel in different situations, and what we would do if we were in his place. For both the story lines and the wonderful, colorful illustrations we rate "The Complete Adventures of Curious George" a classic among classcs for children.

Summary: Reminiscent of childhood.
Review: I love Curious George! His intentions are always good, but he finds himself in unpredictable and sticky situations. Add that to his irresistible charm and the colorful drawings and you have a light-hearted and fun story. The drawings are nothing less than amazing and tell the story by themselves. This is a collection of a lifetime--something you'll want to keep on the lowest shelf to reread and reread to your kids (or to yourself!)

Summary: George stays in your mind forever !
Review: I loved George so much when I was little, even before I could read. My mom bought me one and she ended up buying all the other GeorgeÂfs books. Mine were written all Japanese, George's books are everywhere in the world and famous. I am 36 year-old (!) now, I still can remember some of the stories I read and adorable drawings of the books. I think this book even had an influence my "personality development" as a child. Good influences such as: be independent, be curious, be creative, be bold, be unique, be humorous, be even a little rebellious, be lovable. Very good chilren's book.

Summary: Oh, that there were more works like these!
Review: I purchased this book before the birth of my first son, and began reading it to him at a very early age. It quickly became one of his favorites, and at two-and-a-half, it's going to be with us for awhile. Like most of those purchasing this book, it was probably bought for the adult more than for the child, but it certainly is enjoyable when the child develops an appreciation and love for a character that the parent affectionately remembers. The book includes several stories of Curious George, a monkey who is befriended (?) by a man wearing a yellow hat and suit. Being from Kentucky, I was stunned that so many reviewers were shocked, surprised, or "put off" by the use of tobacco products by so many characters in the book, including George. I personally didn't like George's illustrated expression when he was shown the needle immediately prior to receiving an injection, and I usually try to awkwardly skip this page in that particular story. It is also surprising that so few were saddened by George's capture from his freedom in Africa, placed in a bag by the man with the yellow hat, and taken to live in captivity in a zoo. Let me say, however, that these stories are, and rightfully should be, endearing to preschoolers, while perhaps innapropriate for older children, for those extremely inclined to political correctness. The tales of George's curiosity (and misbehavior) landing him into trouble, but with a good ending always, are treasured by children and parents alike. We need more books such as this. Buy this for yourself and child or grandchild, and share something special with them.

Summary: A good book that could be improved
Review: I read Curious George to my 4 year old daughter before she goes to sleep at night. She enjoys the book and I concur with most of the praise in the other reviews. But, I am critical of a point in this book. The characters in the book smoke. In one of the stories even George is smoking without getting into trouble. This book would have been much better, if the smoking pictures were edited out.

Summary: :-(
Review: I read it and was disappointed. My 6-year-old cousin, Amanda Rebecca Jacinto, really thinks it is dumb! She said, "This book is boring, (my name)! Why did you buy me this? I wish you bought me 'Where the Wild Things Are'! Katelyn said it was cool."
