This nicely priced boxed set contains four DVDs that have been sold separately for $16.98 each ($12.98 at Amazon). Each disk is in the original case. The disks are Curious George: Zoo Night and Other Animal Stories!; Curious George Plays in the Snow and Other Awesome Activities!; Curious George: Takes a Job and More Monkey Business!; Curious George: Rocket Ride and Other Adventures! Each disk has eight episodes.

From what I've seen, many of these have not been shown on PBS for at least the past 6 months. We watch Curious George a lot at my house and they seem to run the same few episodes over and over again. So, this boxed set is not only a bargain--it's a relief! The running time for the four disks, according to the box, is 7 hours and 14 minutes.

Can a Monkey Collection, Volume II be far behind?

My son is obsessed with Curious George and absolutely loves this set of DVDs. It is so nice because he can watch one at a time and go through all 32 before he has to have a "re-run!" Very nice quality and definitely worth the price. I hope they come out with a Monkey Collection Vol. 2!! We will be purchasing it if it does become available!

All of my grandkids cover a wide age range, but they all seem to enjoy the Curious George DVDs. For a monkey that doesn't talk, George conveys a lot of teaching in each of his lessons. I liked purchasing this set, Curious George Monkey Collection Volume 1, that features 32 shows in a nice boxed set...no commercials, and I can preview the DVD before the kids see it. My toddler grandchild is going through a "fussy stage" when her mother leaves for work. I gave her a Curious George stuffed animal to hold, and popped in this DVD set and she immediately quieted down and has been distracted ever since!

My wife and I are careful about what and how much TV we let our daughter watch. Curious George is one of the few shows we're very happy to let her watch and, together with Clifford, have become my daughter's favorite shows. The sheer number of episodes that come in this amazing collection is staggering, considering how inexpensive it is. You're literally getting hours and hours of Curious George. Great for long car/plane trips and vacations. We've bought Clifford and Dora collections, but this Curious George collection is by far my favorite and my daughter's favorite. We picked it up while she was still 2 years old. She just turned 3 and still requests it. She never gets tired of them. My only word of caution is the "cave" episode deals with being afraid of the dark and that things can look scary in the dark. Although watching the episode didn't frighten my daughter, it did heighten her awareness about the dark and probably accelerated her discomfort with it. So depending on the age of your child and their personalities, it's the one episode I would be extra cautious about. Otherwise, I can honestly say this is the best collection of shows, and possibly one of the best educational shows out there, and I highly recommend it. I only wish there was a volume 2 out there now!

My children, ages ranging 2 - 7, cannot put this collections of movies down. They have watched them repeated over and over during their allotted movie time. They have been watching Curious George now for probably 3 weeks straight. They never seem to get tired of this michievious little monkey.

My daughter loves these videos and I enjoy watching them with her. After each episode is a little lesson with real children doing experiments and activities related to what they have just seen. I am thrilled with these and will buy other Curious George DVDs.

Curious George: Monkey Collection, Vol. 1
My grandson is almost two and walks in my door every morning saying "Want George?" After a few days of constant pleas, I logged on to Amazon.com to choose a DVD. The 4 pack was perfect and a good value. Thirty-Two episodes allows me to put one DVD on in the bedroom to play continually. Each day we can watch a new DVD and enjoy George nonstop. Educational and amusing-we love it!

I purchased this for my 3 yr old daughter who is autistic.. She loves curious george. Alot of the episodes were ones we had never seen on T.V.....All the dvd's arrived alot earlier then I expected and I would definitely order from this seller again..

My niece is 1 and she is bananas about curious george, she can't get enough of these movies. she watches everyday!

This DVD set is priced at a steal! My son is in LOVE with Curious George, so everyday I wound up having to record each episode to the point my DV-R became 100% full and I couldn't record my own TV shows. So I gave in and decided to search around for some DVDs so I could free up my DV-R.

We got this shipment extremely fast, within the next day after ordering. The DVD set comes with 4 DVDs, 32 shows total, 8 episodes on each DVD, run time over 7 hours all together. Now my son loves choosing which DVD mommy should put on when it's time to watch "ooh ooh ahh ahh" as he likes to call it.

I wish there was a 2nd volume of Curious George because you can bet I will be purchasing it!
