Book Reviews of The Complete Adventures of Curious George
Book Review: PG -- needs parental guidance in a Post-Goodall world!
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the illustrations are irresistable, I would not recommend the content of the first few books, at least, for children without some guidance from parents/teachers. They would, however, be good springboards for discussions about changing perspectives on wildlife and animal rights. When the Reys wrote their books, human dominance and exploitation of wild animals was almost unquestioned in their culture. Today, the sight of a young chimpanzee being captured, taken to the city, given alcohol and cigarettes, being imprisoned in a jail and then a zoo and being used in the film industry is disturbing, to say the least. I could see children learning to think about animals and wildlife, and learning to empathize with other species, from these books. Book Review: All our favorites in one beautiful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's so nice to have all the classic Curious George stories in one, big, beautiful hardcover book. Curious George tales are timeless. This collection would certainly make a nice baby shower gift.
Our daughters love when I read these stories, they never tire of them.
Book Review: All the old favorites

These are all the original works of the Reys, not like some of the other books out there which were done by other authors.Book Review: Good

My daugther likes a lot this book, she enjoys a lot of the mischiefs of this restless monkey.Book Review: Complete Adventures of Curious George
Summary: 5 Stars
We had an old copy of this around the house, and when our nephew came by, he always asked his younger auntie to read it to him. Young boys (and girls) will enjoy the adventures of the cute monkey, especially if they haven't seen him on video. A good read aloud (I know he's great but after all these years, I'm TIRED of Dr. Seuss!). I found ours used in great condition and gave it as a gift. Keep it for your grandchildren!
