Quite a bit advanced for my toddler, but he sat through the whole thing and enjoyed it. He loves George. This was my book as a child and I am thrilled to pass it on.

Fun fluff that I liked more as a kid than I do now, but still good. This one's got some particularly good moments.

Just realized that this story actually contains the Curious George and the Bunny story. Never knew that it was actually part of a bigger story...

It was a good one!

In this book Curious George flies a kite. He also does a number of other fun things, And each time he gets into trouble. It's hard to be curious. But it's fun. We love this series, just as we love the animated ones on PBS. Most little kids can relate really well to Curious George. Luckily, the man with the yellow hat is usually close by, close enough to get George out of trouble. This is a safe read for my very sensitive 3 1/2 year old. Although Curious George does get himself into many a pickle, there are no scary guys, no mean dogs, no dragons, no deaths, and it always ends well.

My daughter loves this book because it has one of her favorite characters - Curious George. She loves it. :) The story is simple enough and the pictures are sweet. My husband even said that he thinks he had this book when he was a little boy.

In one of his longer stories, George shows just how curious he can be. A little monkey can only take so much time alone, so when George discovers a large window in his house, the things he can see makes it all but impossible to stay still. H ventures down to check out all the world has to offer, from a garden to a little bunny house and even a few people who love to spend their lazy day by the water. As George learns the art of fishing, he discovers that it is not as easy as it seems. While fishing may be an art, George soon comes to understand that it does not hold a candle to flying a kite. George loves watching it, but when a gust of wind pushes him up into the sky, holding the kite, it is scarier than he could have imagined. How will he get down?! Neo and I loved this story, as it showcases all the trouble that George can find in a single afternoon. A lovely story that we both will surely enjoy for years to come, even as Neo introduces it to the next generation... someday!
