I carried him all the way up a mountain in a tiny backpack as boy no older than 4-year-old Emma, because I couldn't bare to leave him behind. I have no doubt she'll want to return to the adventures of Curious George in the future and I will be happy to! George is my dawg! He was my favorite stuffed animal as a child. Heck, I didn't even do funny voices and her eyes were still glued to the pages. Other than that she liked it, Emma didn't have much to say about Curious George when we finished, yet she was riveted the whole way through. Rest assured, I am doing yoeman's work in the uncle department. These days she also has a strong interest in chickenbutt and getting people people to answer "what" to her question "Guess what?!". So I think she just was curious to see what her brethren were up to. And that right there is why we become entranced by Curious George.īut why the fascination in the first place? Why did my niece see the cover of this book and decide "this one!"? My guess is that, well, who doesn't love a monkey? In the past, when Emma has done something silly and flopped about all crazy like kids do, I would occasionally call her a monkey. If it weren't for his curiosity he never would've been captured in the first place. He likes to check things out and that gets him into trouble. Some would call it his one great failing. The society he inhabits changes, but his habits within society do not. He's taken from one jungle and forced into another. What is it about this monkey that so enthralls readers?

First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at, where you'll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I've visited all over the world. If I messed it up, let me know! LOL :)įor those new to me or my reviews. Such fun memories.įYI - Wrote this review ~2017 from memory as I want to have a review for everything I remember reading. what was the minky doing? They couldn't say "monkey" easily. And when I taught in a daycare one summer, it was our morning read every day. I love reading these books to my younger cousins, seeing their eyes light up at all the adventures. But aren't all monkeys? An adorable way to teach kids to ask questions, but only up to a point, and sometimes. He's so innocent, yet such a magnet for bad things to happen. In this first book, George comes home for the first time, and the infamous yellow coat becomes a hallmark. Who didn't love Curious George when they were a child? Or even now as an adult? So many fun memories of this wonderful little monkey.
