Summary: The first introduction of Curious George
Comment: This book has charming illustrations of Curious George and his siblings. It's actually the first book George ever appeared in. I think it can be enjoyed simply for that, keeping in mind it was written in simpler times before childrens' books were analyzed for political correctness. A previous review slashed this book saying the monkeys were cruel to the giraffe....I've never seen it that way, nor have the kids who I've read it to. See for yourself. If you're a fan of Curious George you'll enjoy seeing his debut.

Summary: Can Curious George Go Back to the Jungle???
Comment: Cecily loves her new family of monkey children and tries to make them as happy as she can. It's fun seeing how happy Curious George was before he was kidnapped by the man with the yellow hat and carted off from the jungle to New York. He had a wonderful large family, of which he was a beloved member. When I read this to my second grade class, they were upset that he had been taken from them. I reminded them that anyone of them can write the book that takes George home again. And that's what's great about imagination! I like this book quite a bit, even though the giraffe is a bit too accomodating about what she will allow the monkey to do. But what they think up, and what she does, are very imaginative and warm.

Summary: Attractive illustrations but utterly weird
Comment: Attractice illustrations combined with Curious G, pulled my 4yr old's attention to this book. WHen we read it, I just could not digest the story. Cecily will just do whatever the monkeys ask her to, even if it is dangerous to her and she is not enjoying it. This utter compliance (which is wrong) made me point out to my son that you really cannot tie someone's neck to a tree or slide down their back with a pointed ski poles. I don't know what the author was thinking, it is almost sadistic.
