As a child, I used to read the old-school Curious George books. In fact, my younger brother used to have a stuffed Curious George that he carried around until it was worn ragged!

Here I am, decades later. My 7 year old son saw the previews for the Curious George movie and wanted to see it. I took him to see the movie (featuring the voices of Will Ferrell and Drew Barrymore, among others) and he was utterly enthralled. (I found it a bit too slow for me, but hey! I'm a parent.)

I bought my son this book as a reminder of the movie since he enjoyed it so much, and he loves it! Lavishly illustrated on semi-glossy pages, Curious George's Big Adventures recounts George's time in the jungle (including putting painted handprints on an elephant's behind!), meeting the man with the yellow hat, "re-painting" the opera lady's apartment, sailing around the sky with balloons, the red monkey artifact in the museum, and George's take-off in the rocket ship.

The book comes with about 20 stickers, too, which the child can place on the back of the book (as recommended) or throughout the book or inside covers.

If your child loves monkeys or enjoyed the Curious George movie, they'll love this beautiful book! It's short, great for beginner readers, and makes a nice bedtime story.

This is a good book to have if you want something from the movie on paper. Your child will enjoy looking at the pictures and the sentences/story flows fine.
