Summary: A collection of some classic and beloved stories.
Review: It's a classic. I read the individual stories as a child and they are still wonderful. Be warned, however, children will want to read it over and over, but since the book is very heavy, the binding will split fairly quickly.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: My 3 year old loved it, it was easy to follow, the pictures and text were at the right location, and she was able to follow the story by looking at the pictures.I highly recommend it.

Summary: I love it as much as the children
Review: My 3 year old son was sent this book as a Christmas present and six weeks later we are still reading it every night before bed time. Admittedly, I sometimes wish he would choose a shorter story for bed time, but he just loves it. My 18 month old daughter also chooses it every night, and loves pointing at Curious George every time he appears on the page. George is so funny, the story line so interesting, you never know what is going to happen next. And the drawings are fantastic. I never knew a monkey could have so many facial expressions! We would not be without George.

Summary: children will sit still for this one!
Review: My 3 year old twins (girls) are totally rivited by this book. Yes, the stories are long (allow 15-20 minutes each), but they enjoy it so much, it is well worth it. Hands down, this is their favorite book. As a parent, however, I think this book could use a little updating. Some references are harmless, like referring to a record player (what's that?!), but others are what we would now consider politically incorrect or stereotypical: "fireman" instead of "firefighter", references to a "fat man", and "pretty nurse". A few characters, including George, smoke a pipe!
All in all, I would not let this stop me from purchasing the book; it's just something to be aware of.

Summary: Wonderful Classic Childrens Collection
Review: My Dad used to read Curious George stories to me as a child, and it became my favorite book. I had forgotten about it until recently, and now that my husband and I are expecting our first child, I wanted to start a childrens' book collection of my old favorites. The baby is not here yet, but I am enjoying the book myself!

Summary: A treasure!
Review: My love for Curious George started as a child. I had to spend the night in the hospital when someone gave me Curious George Goes to the Hospital. I've loved this little monkey ever since. This book is all the George anyone could ever want. It's a great gift for kids of any age and something to treasure for years to come.

Summary: If you are a Curious George fan, you'll love this book.
Review: My sister recently saw this book at ... and asked me if I could get it for less on Amazon (of course!). If you love Curious George, this collection of stories will not let you down. My nephews are ages 2 and 5 and they both love it! Although, I think my sister likes it more!

Summary: Wonderful but LOOOONG stories...
Review: My son adores this book- it's the first thing he ever brought to "show & tell" at preschool. However, I must warn parents that all the stories in this book are quite long, with lots of plot twists. It is hard for a weary parent to read at bedtime. Curious George is a fabulous character, but be prepared for a hoarse voice!
