I just love curious george stories. This is really long though and would not be good for a read aloud. Curious George gets curious about the small house next door after he gets tired of playing with his ball. He ventures to the small house to find that it is a house for a mother bunny and her babies. George plays with the bunny like hide and seek until he loses the bunny and has to get the mother bunny to help him find the bunny. He then brings them back to their house after they find the l

Tak salah bila saya menjuluki Margret Rey penulis buku anak-anak yang cerdik. Kisah seseru petualangan Curious George ini dituangkannya dengan begitu mengalir, tak putus sampai di akhir.
Ketika membaca judulnya tak usah cepat-cepat berharap menemukan adegan George yang selalu ingin tahu dan pria bertopi kuning tengah membuat layang-layang--kalau memang itu bayangan Anda ketika membaca judul buku ini. Dari total 80 halaman, kata laya More...

“Curious George Flies a Kite” by Margret Rey follows the adventure of a curious monkey named George whose curiosity gets him I a difficult situation involving a kite. At first the theme revolves around George playing with string. In a way kids can learn about the many different ways string is used while having following a monkey his adventures get him into trouble but is able to get out it before the story comes to a close. This story involves more than George flying a kite it also includes bun

Flying a kite is no picnic! The church I attended held an annual Kite Day, which, invariably was the least windy day of the year. Never could seem to get the kite off the ground for long. George tackles this problem in this addition to H.A. Rey's series.

This is another of the Reys' wonderful Curious George series. In this story, George goes from one adventure to another -- losing and finding a baby bunny, learning how to fish, and naughtily flying a kite until he flies high above the town, only to be rescued by the Man with the Yellow Hat. George has delighted children for generations, and this makes for an enjoyable read. Unlike the later knock-off George series, this story is characterized by the Reys' carefully crafted writing and wonderf

Curious George gets in trouble again following his curiosity in his neighborhood. He finds a bunny hutch and loses one of the baby rabbits and then falls in the lake while trying to fish with a mop, mop hook, and pieces of cake. Finally, while holding a kite for his neighbor boy, he flies into the air and has to be rescued by the man in the yellow hat in a helicopter!
George's ingenious solutions to his problems are satisfying and my 2 year old grandson was enthralled from start to fi More...

Okay, maybe it's a stretch to review a kid's book, but every time I read this book I felt it was the most artfully crafted of the Curious George books.
I like how there are a couple episodes in the book, and the Reys segue seamlessly from one episode to the next. On one of the first pages George is looking out the window, and H.A. Rey gives you a bird's-eye view of the rest of the story--the garden, the dock in the distance and the sky beyond.

Children absolutely love Curious George. However, this book is a little too long to engage students in a read aloud. It would be great for children to read on their own, though!

Curious George does more than fly a kite. He plays with bunnies and fishes with a broom baited with cake. Bill gives him a baby bunny.

I've been reading this over and over to Issac, the little 2 year old I babysit, and he loves it. Kids always love a michievous character!

This story follows a lot the same basic outline of the original curious George book. I hate reading it, but my son loves it.

My four-year-old found this at the library and HAD to bring it home. And won't let me take it back yet. His older brother (8 yrs old) read it to him.
It's a cute story in typical George fashion meaning he gets into all sorts of trouble because he's so curious. But it always ends up okay. There are several 'sections' here or different stories. For the beginning reader you could split them up in these natural breaks.

This book is about a curious little monkey who has noticed that the wind is blowing. He finds that the wind blows many things away, but not his brick. George sees something flying in the sky and goes to find out what it is. George ends up with the kite string and it pulls him off the ground and through the air. At the end of the book George get his own kite that is not so big.
I would use this book in my class with a lesson on the different seasons.

It drags on a bit too long, but, all in all, another good George story.
