Editorial Review

What better children’s literature hero to accompany an educational product than H.A. and Margaret Rey’s classic inquisitive monkey, Curious George? On this pleasant and challenging DVD-ROM, George helps kids learn about vocabulary, story comprehension, and other skills. There are over 100 activities and questions included in the interactive disc, which is designed for use with the special Read With Me DVD hardware, and all of them feature the familiar bright color palate and familiar characters from the beloved Curious George series. We liked the blend of classic imagery with contemporary learning methods and found the interactive menus to be easy for children to manage.  --Charlie Williams

Product Description

Curious George is forever getting into trouble despite the warnings of the man in the yellow hat on this Read With Me DVD.

Designed in conjunction with a major children's publisher, Scholastic, the Read With Me DVD Learning System is a story comprehension and vocabulary system bringing timeless children's books even closer on DVD. Beloved illustrations are brought to life with thoughtful animation, the text is highlighted and read aloud to children. Children answer questions about the story using a wireless controller. Increasing their comprehension of the story and vocabulary will give them confidence in their own ability to analyze stories in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL STORY!, December 19, 2005

This review is from: Read With Me - Curious George (Toy)

My son received the Read With Me DVD System and all the DVDs as an early Christmas present from his uncle. After a week this DVD and the Dr. Seuess one are his two favorites. This DVD has a charming story about Curious George visiting a chocolate factory. It has a fun game where kids can make their own chocolate candy and design a machine. It also teaches new vocabulary. One part of the story teaches the children what "curious" means so they understand why George has his name. I like that my son is learning new words, listening to an entertaining story, and enjoying himself at the same time. I would recommend this DVD to be purchased if someone is wondering which ones in the series to buy. It is much better than some of the others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Product Misleading!, January 5, 2007

This review is from: Read With Me - Curious George (Toy)

Grandma bought the Curious George "DVD" for my 2 children and their cousin. We popped it in to our DVD player and tried using our DVD remote and it didn't work. I read the package and the box and nowhere does it tell you "Only for use with the Read With Me Controller". Even at the Fisher Price website it is not explained very articulately. Apparently you need to purchase a $25 "system" (aka-special remote control) that you program to interface with your own home DVD remote control and DVD player.

Please be aware that this is not a DVD for use in a DVD player. It is a disc made only for the "Read with Me DVD Learning System". This was not clear in the item description and my daughter was in tears when her birthday present wouldn't work. I felt really bad for her and feel mislead.
