valerie w.: Bought for 4 year old grandson. Story time is his favorite. He loves that there are multiple stories in this book and gets excited to look at the table of contents at all the choices. We read one or two stories at a time and the next time he goes straight to the table of contents to show me where we left off and what story is next. The quality of this book is outstanding. Colors and illustrations are beautiful. Stories are super fun and entertaining to read. We love Curious George. This book does him justice.

J. WaltonJ. Walton: When shopping for some bedtime reading material for our little one, we came across Curious George Stories to Share and notice that it was part of a series. After owning and reading that book for a few months we decided that it was time to expand upon the number of stories being read at night, so we bought The New Adventures of Curious George . A couple of weeks after having both books we decided to finish this collection of stories, while placing an order for another item.
This Treasury of Curious George book has a good quality hard back binding that is a matte finish. The pages of the book are printed on heavy glossy paper, not easily torn by a toddler, and every page is nicely illustrated. The stories in the book are fun to read and keep our toddler's attention while reading to him. We've owned this book for about six months and, as you can see in the pictures, it is holding up very well.
If you're looking for a good series of Curious George books that are made to last, then this is a good buy.

D. Jeong: We are big fans of Curious George at our house! I love these treasury books that give you so many wonderful stories all in one. We have read this treasury (and many others) over and over again - they never get old. They are also great books for beginning readers to read once they can master other books like Biscuit or other 'I can read' level 1 or pre-readers. One thing that I did with my children when they started reading these was alternate. Depending on how confident they are, you can start with alternating sentences and then alternating pages. Another thing that helped my son was tapping my hand when he didn't know a word...then he would continue on after I would read only that word. This helped because he could get pretty frustrated and angry sometimes. After implementing the 'tap,' reading no longer became a chore or something that made you feel bad because you didn't know some of the words. After that, we were just able to enjoy the stories together knowing we might not know every word, and that is okay because sometimes we need a little help. The tap helped because he didn't have to keep saying "I don't know this!!!!" We found that a really easy solution to solve that...

Bella Blue: I bought this book for my 3 year old son after seeing the film. This book is beautiful illustrated with watercolour prints of George the monkey and the man in the yellow hat. There are 8 stories of the antics and adventures they get up to including a camping trip, bulldozer at the park, train story etc. This is a great book for boys as they will indentify with the things that interest George and the mishaps he gets up to because of his curiosity.
It is a good, wholesome book of innocent tales written in an American style (Curious George coming from American).
The book is excellent value for what you get - 8 stories in a hard back version with lovely pictures.
