daniel bridges: This is a well written story that’s perfect for birthdays, summertime or anytime! Bonus: the story involves an ice cream truck—which my toddler had just recently discovered and was super pumped to see in the book.

The copy we received from Amazon was in excellent, brand new condition and even arrived early! Very happy with our purchase.

DJW: The whole Curious George series has been a favorite of my kids. From very early on, we started reading them to them, and the older they got, the more there was to learn and understand from the books and the pictures. Some reviewers have complained that these are not the original Curious George books or that the plot is very repetitive. While these are not the originals, my kids do not seem to mind, and I don't think they are "worse" than the originals, just slightly different if at all.

The plot is repetitive but that is because George is always getting into trouble so you have the same pattern--he gets curious, he does something naughty, something bad happens, then something good comes out of the bad event, and then everyone is happy and George is usually a hero. This does not bother me in the least. My kids find his adventures interesting and never get bored with that "plot." To them, it is funny and what makes Curious George funny. Sure, if this was an adult book then the repetition might be problematic but thankfully it is not an adult book!

The illustrations are nice and detailed and provide a lot of material for my kids to look at while I read the story to...

worldjazzstore: this is another great book in the curious george series, and is real fun....my nephew loves this series, and the character. the book (as with all of this collection) is easy to read, has lovely illustrations, and is always a well-received gift. ideal for 4-5 year olds.
