 A trip down memory laneJul 10, 2010
I really enjoyed reading these stories that I grew up with. I read it on my ipad and the pictures are stunning. I would either buy the paperback or read on an ipad. The pictures don't show up that great on the kindle and the colors of the pictures are great. I

The worst Curious Book yetMay 30, 2010
Unlike all the other Curious George compilations this book has a bunch of strange stories in it. The strangest is the one written in conjusction with the Boston Children's Hospital where George swallows a puzzle piece. He then gets admitted to the hospital, drinks barium and then gets operated on. As a physician this was far too detailed for Curious George story.
Another story in the book has George smelling a bottle of ether and then having stange dreams and passing out.
My daughter likes the hospital story as I make up all my own words but this book will hit the trash can one day soon. Buy any other compilation of George stories just not this one - it's like the writers were drinking on duty when this book got put together.

The Kindle versionMay 22, 2010
This collection begins with an interesting history about the authors and making of the Curious George series, geared more for the adult reader than the child. It is followed by five separate Curious George stories.
I downloaded the Curious George collection for my daughter, who has a whole collection of Curious George paperback books. She is in kindergarten and is able to read the stories; but they tend to run long, so she tires and needs me to help her finish.
The Kindle version sports the familiar illustrations, although they are in black and white. Sometimes, an illustration in the paperback version would span two pages, which makes it awkward in the Kindle version because my daughter only sees half the illustration on a page at a time. She understands what is happening, because she has the paperback version at home; but this can be a problem for young children. Otherwise, this is a great collection for the price and a wonderful one to have when traveling with children.
