Customer Reviews

Hardcovers were in great condition! Many great things about this book! Ordered a 2nd book for my oth

Hardcovers are in great condition! Love that the book contains 8 different stories! Will be great for my nephews! Very nice pictures and very colorful! No complaints!

The book is not in good condition. There is no end of the last story there. I would like to return i

I like the book but the condition is awful.

I’m sure it’s a good book but I ordered like new and corners are very banged up.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my girls. Ordered like new and got in today and all corners are banged up. Not really happy about that.

A Wonderful Book

This is a beautiful book for any lover of Curious George. My 3 year old daughter received it for Christmas and is so happy with it. The stories hold her attention and the illustrations allow her to 'read' the stories to her friends! Recommended for any child who loves books and being read to.

A good 'sequel' for the original authors' work

Our daughter LOVES Curious George- we already had the "Complete Adventures of Curious George" when we decided to buy the "Treasury". We were aware that the "Treasury" was not by the original authors, but rather "inspired" by their work, and were a bit hesitant to purchase it, particularly based on a few less than flattering comments on the [..] website- some found it formulaic, drawings uninspired, etc. We were pleased with our purchase. Our daughter loves this book, currently more than "Adventures", likely because she hasn't completely memorized it! The illustrations are good (if perhaps subtly different than H.A. Rey's), the plot lines entertaining (maybe stories about a mischievous monkey can't help but be to be a bit formulaic). These books were written in the 1990s and 2000s, so it's not surprising that no one smokes in them and minorities are more visible (without, in our opinion, the books striving to be overwhelmingly politically correct). But reading "Curious George Visits the Big City", obviously set in New York, saddened us. There's a scene where George is looking out over the city, and what look to be the World Trade Center is visible in the distance. This particular book was written in the 90s, based on a view that today's children will never see. If your children liked the original George book, they will enjoy this one too. Highly recommended.

Timeless stories that have been enjoyed for generations!

It was a delight to read these stories to my grandson and remember back when I was first introduced to Curious George so many years ago. These stories are timeless and are as interesting and funny now as they were generations ago! My grandson thoroughly enjoyed the book as much as I enjoyed sharing it with him. He is five years old. Curious George continues to live and will live forever! I highly recommend this book!

great gift

My son received this book over a year ago at age two. He LOVES it. We have to read at least one Curious George story every night. All eight stories are wonderful Curious George tales (Takes a Train, Visits a Toy Store, and the Dump Truck, Goes Camping, and the Birthday Surprise, Goes to a Costume Party, Visits the Library, in the Big City). To address one CG reviewer's concern, neither George nor the Man with the Yellow Hat smoke in any of these stories. This collection has held up well with the usage and is a great price. I highly recommend it.
