Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

ea. vol: 32p. adapt. illus. CIP. Houghton. 1987. PLB $8.95; pap. $2.95. Kindergarten-Grade 2 These stories, adapted from filmstrips, are very short, and are shorter on plot and action than the original series. Predictably, each page looks like one filmstrip frame with a caption below. In Curious George Goes Fishing, George tries his hand at fishingbut he catches only the fish in a man's frying pan, which he casts into the water. In Curious George Vis its a Police Station , George delights in swinging from the barred doors of the jail cells in the new police station. He proceeds to lock up the police chief and the mayor. In both books, the young monkey redeems himself. These short stories don't have the read-aloud charm of the original ``Cu rious George'' books (Houghton), but for youngsters who desperately want any Curious George book, they will do. Deirdre R. Murray, Pine Road School, Huntingdon Valley, Pa.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Little Book!, June 29, 2008

By	C.Frye (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this little book as a companion gift to the Paz - Ready Set Learn fishing kit. I was surprised that it has a cardboard cover and pages. It's a very durable little book w/great illustrations. Our 3 yr old neighbor is thrilled w/it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Curious George, September 24, 2008

By	P. Smith (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unlike the newer tv cartoon, this book has the classic Curious George I grew up with. I thought the story might be a little difficult for my 3-year-old to follow, but it's not. He loves it.
