4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but small, books.
Our daughter loves her Curious George books (she's barely 2 years old) and particularly loves the illustrations as well as the stories that are narrated in these books. Our only concern is that the words in this miniature set are so small that it isn't practical to use these books to teach her to read. If this is of concern to you, then you are better off paying more...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good books, but need to be sturdier
I bought this set because our family travels quite a bit; we live overseas. Our daughter LOVES the books--the content is a lot of fun. However, as far as being suitable for travel, the set's main advantage is only its size. It is nice to be able to slip the books in anywhere. However, the thin box soon began to fall apart, and the binding on each book hasn't held the...

This review is from: The Adventures of Curious George (Paperback)

Our only concern is that the words in this miniature set are so small that it isn't practical to use these books to teach her to read. If this is of concern to you, then you are better off paying more money and getting the larger books, otherwise these books are great!

I bought this set because our family travels quite a bit; we live overseas. Our daughter LOVES the books--the content is a lot of fun. However, as far as being suitable for travel, the set's main advantage is only its size. It is nice to be able to slip the books in anywhere. However, the thin box soon began to fall apart, and the binding on each book hasn't held the back pages well. As far books to take traveling, I should have chosen something bound better, like a hardcover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classics in a small package!, April 25, 2000

Eric D (Goeteborg, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventures of Curious George (Paperback)
Of all the CG's out there today, these are the ones I remember from when I was a 2-5 year old in the 1970's. My nearly 2-year old can handle these small books, and they are great for holding up and reading in bed. These may not be the books that you will pass on to your great grand kids,( paperback and small), but you will get great usage of them.

The stories are simple and well told about a little monkey ( actually a chimp, no tail, right :-) ),who explores new environments everyday. Everyone will read them from a different perspective.

My son likes them because CG explores all kinds of things. He has animals, boats, bikes,lorries etc, to point at and recognize from the real world.

I like them because, CG is just exploring, not trying to do things wrong, just like my son. Most of the things CG gets into, can be good if looked at from another point of view, you just have to look for that view. Its the same with children.

Even if some things may not be "politically correct", some thirty years later, your kids will ask you why, and you can explain.

This review is from: The Adventures of Curious George (Paperback)
I think this was the first book in the series and I was in love with it in kindergarten. I found the firefighter part to be the funniest and the part with the balloons. Classic!

This review is from: The Adventures of Curious George (Paperback)
My 2-year old daughter loves looking through this set of books during car trips. The book size fits easily into the side of her car seat so we don't have to keep handing them to her.
