Katie AKatie A: My kids loved this particular Curious George story so I bought a copy for my 4-year-old nephew as part of his birthday gift. The first book ended up being packed in the shipping box poorly so the cover was a bit bent when it arrived. The book was still perfectly readable. But as I was giving it as a gift, it would have been nice for it to look...a bit less "already used" I guess.

I tried to exchange it for a new one (that wasn't bent) but that second one came with the cover a bit bent and creased, too.

It isn't an expensive book and the cover IS just paper, so it makes sense that it might get damaged in transit. But it would be nice if whomever was packing these took a little more care in ensuring it arrives undamaged.

Gift givers beware in the meantime.

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...

Peppekite: super e consigliato per inglese dei vostri figli . le storie di curious george hanno il merito di essere brevi, divertenti, illustrate, stampate a caratteri grandi (per i primi tentativi di lettura in inglese) , varie, numerose (creando aspettativa per la nuova storia nei vostri figli), molto economiche, da collezionare.
insomma: consigliato assolutamente come primo step nell'insegnamento dell'inglese a bambini da i 3 anni in su
