Do You like book The Complete Adventures Of Curious George (2001)?
The only thing better than reading one of the Curious George adventures is to read them all. These stories spark the reader's imagination. Every page is enjoyable to watch George's child-like innocence as he responds to his environment with engagement. Also, the stories cause the reader to speculate on the life of Curious George. What goes on beyond the pages? These speculations can lead the reader to entirely new Curious George misadventures.Both the stories and the illustrations are engaging. Let us not forget that the manuscript for Curious George escaped from the Nazis, during WWII in a bicycle basket of the Rey's.

Believe it or not, this is the first book i ever got as a gift. I was about 4 years old, and my sister and i were walking around this book fair. I remember asking my mom if i could buy a book, and she said no since i couldn't read yet at that time and i would probably massacre the book by the end of the week... so, like any sensible kid would do who wanted something and didn't get it, i threw a tantrum. But, unlike other parents, mine are able to diffuse a tantrum in less than a minute. And then, out of the blue, a strange man walks up to us, takes a yellow book, asked for my name, opens it and then started writing something, and then said that i could have it for free. Then, he gave me the book, smiled and turned away. We went home that night and i asked my mom what it says, she said that the man told her not to tell me. So, a couple of years later, when i finally learned to read, my mom gave me the book, and i've treasured it ever since. on the book it says, "To Abi, who is as curious as George"

Curiosity killed the cat, but apparently, not the monkey! The schtick here is that George, a lovable and curious monkey, is sometimes overwhelmed by his enthusiasm and ends up in some difficult situations--sometimes making other people mad and leading to getting scolded or punished. Happily, in a realistic and reassuring relationship, his caretaker The Man in the Yellow Hat is shown to be accepting of his quirks, and George's curiosity is not squashed in the name of safety and prudence. As a kid I wondered if monkeys were really smart enough to do these things and concluded they were not, so I didn't know whether the stories were supposed to be very silly or whether George was supposed to be an exceptional monkey, but either way, I enjoyed reading these tales as a kid.
