I should have read the other reviews for the other Curious George kindle books. the type is illegible. Below the illegible type from the book, they have the text typed out. The pages repeat -- there are sometimes multiple pages from the book on one page in the ipad, and then each page is repeated again since the type is too small and blurry to read it the way they have scanned the book in -- and then the text is actually typed out on a page that does not match the picture. It's confusing. I want my 87 cents back.

My children are big fans of curious George stories. So, I tried the Kindle edition... This is theft! The book is scanned and the text is typed again. So you end up with small pictures, twice the text (once small and difficult to read, once adapted to the kindle) and a very bad experience. There are some curious George that are "real" ebooks, so you have to check before buying.

Cute story. My 3-year old is a big fan and enjoys the story. I like this book as a read-along since it has several sentences on each page and is actually long enough to make it worthwhile. I made the mistake of buying another read-along book with only a phrase on each page - the book is over too soon and not worth getting the child all set up with the CD. This book is a much better fit for a read-along. Cute sound effects, too.
