The majority of the stories are formulaic Curious George adventures, but the last is a bizarre dream that George has where he becomes a giant Monkey. The story is surreal, melancholy, and slightly chilling.
The tried and true format: george gets into mischief, he creates a dilemma, then he helps solve it and then is declared a hero. I have a slight issue with the message. This is a collection of new Curious George stories. So they are not the original stories but they are good. So far we've read one about pancakes and one about a chocolate factory (generously borrowed from I love Lucy)..
We were given this book as a gift. I really like this particular collection of curious George stories- some of them are really lame, but not these. I really like the pictures and the binding seems very sturdy. My 23-mo-old son loves to get out "George" and then pick a story based on the pictures in the table of contents. He loves hearing these over and over.
I think these stories and the illustrations that accompany them are adorable. Plus, Maddie is completely engrossed by them. I think I must own this book eventually. Maddie reminds me of Curious George in a lot of ways, which is maybe why she likes the stories so much. She is a very good girl, and always very curious :)
The 2 year-old loves the adventures of Curious George. What a silly monkey! We go through two before bedtime most nights and the current favorites are Curious George Makes Pancakes and Curious George at the Movies.
I love Curious George! We got this book as a present for our son's first Christmas and he seems totally captivated by the stories and little illustrations. We read it frequently and he's all smiles through the whole story.
Well, it's a formula that worked. George makes trouble, but the trouble ends up making something good happen. Not exciting, and perhaps not the best moral, but they're good enough.
Maggie is on a Curious George kick right now. She likes the stories but I find them just so-so.

THe only thing better than a Curious George book is one book with a ton of Curious George stories! We love, love, love these!
One of Daniel's favorites (along with the other collection of George stories.) "George is a good little monkey," says Daniel.

Hans Augusto Rey was born on September 16, 1898, in Hamburg, Germany. He grew up there near the world-famous Hagenbeck Zoo, and developed a lifelong love for animals and drawing. Margarete Elisabeth Waldstein (who would be known to most of the world as Margret Rey) was also born in Hamburg on May 16, 1906. The two met briefly when Margret was a young girl, before she left Hamburg to study art. The...more
