"This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good little monkey, and always very curious." With these words, H. A. and Margret Rey introduced the world to Curious George in 1941, and the world has loved him ever since. The tales of this cheerful and resilient little hero have kept generations of readers enthralled and entertained. Now, in recognition of the sixtieth anniversary of his debut, Houghton Mifflin proudly presents a special edition of George"s best-loved adventures.

With an introduction by critic Leonard Marcus, a retrospective note by publisher Anita Silvey, and a cataloged history of the Reys by curator Dee Jones, this collection offers a fun and fascinating portrait of a classic character and his unique creators.

read it to kids - edition is for grownups, but the stories are for everyone!
This volume gathers Curious George and the six original books in the series:

1) Curious George
2) ...Takes a Job
3) ...Rides a Bike
4) ...Gets a Medal
5) ...Flies a Kite
6) ...Learns the Alphabet
7) ...Goes to the Hospital

I was given this as a nostalgic birthday gift a few years ago and was greatly charmed. I don't even think I read all of those when I was little, so it was sweet to see them again after so many years. Curious George is the story of the "man in the yellow hat" who has brought back an inquisitive and mischievous monkey, Curious George. The stories usually involve a jungle-raised monkey getting into all kinds of trouble in the city, but all ends well and George comes home safely in the end - and no one really can stay mad at him.

This book is a handsome edition with a good binding and high quality printing. (The colors look good, etc.) I don't really like the glossy pages for book that will be loved to pieces by a child, but if you want this for a gift edition, it's perfect. I suggest having this as something you would read to a child, since it's kind of big and you wouldn't want to drop it on a grown-up foot.

George!
My youngest son likes monkeys a lot and George was a favorite of mine when i was little. He loves the book and read all of it by himself. It took him quite a while because it is a very long book and it is also well made.

the complete adventures of curious george
obviously great stories and so many of them. however, i think it's more fun for a little person to be able to go through multiple books versus one cmbersome edition. but a great value in hard cover
