Book Reviews of A Treasury of Curious George
Book Review: A good 'sequel' for the original authors' work
Summary: 5 Stars
Our daughter LOVES Curious George- we already had the "Complete Adventures of Curious George" when we decided to buy the "Treasury".
We were aware that the "Treasury" was not by the original authors, but rather "inspired" by their work, and were a bit hesitant to purchase it, particularly based on a few less than flattering comments on the [..] website- some found it formulaic, drawings uninspired, etc.
We were pleased with our purchase. Our daughter loves this book, currently more than "Adventures", likely because she hasn't completely memorized it!
The illustrations are good (if perhaps subtly different than H.A. Rey's), the plot lines entertaining (maybe stories about a mischievous monkey can't help but be to be a bit formulaic). These books were written in the 1990s and 2000s, so it's not surprising that no one smokes in them and minorities are more visible (without, in our opinion, the books striving to be overwhelmingly politically correct).
But reading "Curious George Visits the Big City", obviously set in New York, saddened us. There's a scene where George is looking out over the city, and what look to be the World Trade Center is visible in the distance. This particular book was written in the 90s, based on a view that today's children will never see.
If your children liked the original George book, they will enjoy this one too. Highly recommended.
