She loves it and has developed a pretty good accent (as good as mine, anyhow :) She knows what a bolsa is, and a monito and of course a sombrero amarillo. She has it firmly in mind that balloon = globo, so the globe of the world is like a balloon. Red is rojo and blue is azul. And she hasn't yet taken to smoking a pipe :) What's especially interesting is that she doesn't require that the story be translated, though she does like to talk about what Jorge is up to on a given page. "WHY did the man put Jorge in a bolsa?" 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as educational as advertised, January 19, 2007 By  Timothy W. Crews (Chandler, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: Jorge el curioso (Hardcover) The dust jacket for this book, which you can view here on amazon by clicking "Search inside this book" advertises: "This translation has been made especially for American children who want to learn Spanish. They will find a complete vocabulary at the end of the book. In addition, some Spanish phrases and expressions that may be unknown to the beginner are translated at the foot of each page." Strangely, the book itself does not have those features. While it is a charming book, and my children will certainly enjoy it, there is no vocabulary at the end of the book, and there are no footnotes. 16 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Revisit Curious Jorge...in Spanish!, May 25, 2000 By A Customer This review is from: Jorge el curioso (Hardcover) If you like Curious George, you'll enjoy him all over again in Spanish.
