Curious George and the Birthday Surprise

Kids love it

El libro es muy bonito: ilustrativo y con buena narrativa, a mi hijo de 2 años le encantó, lo disfruta tanto cada vez que lo revisamos, el es fan del personaje.

The whole Curious George series has been a favorite of my kids. From very early on, we started reading them to them, and the older they got, the more there was to learn and understand from the books and the pictures. Some reviewers have complained that these are not the original Curious George books or that the plot is very repetitive. While these are not the originals, my kids do not seem to mind, and I don't think they are "worse" than the originals, just slightly different if at all.The plot is repetitive but that is because George is always getting into trouble so you have the same pattern--he gets curious, he does something naughty, something bad happens, then something good comes out of the bad event, and then everyone is happy and George is usually a hero. This does not bother me in the least. My kids find his adventures interesting and never get bored with that "plot." To them, it is funny and what makes Curious George funny. Sure, if this was an adult book then the repetition might be problematic but thankfully it is not an adult book!The illustrations are nice and detailed and provide a lot of material for my kids to look at while I read the story to them. The quality of the pages is good and it's nice that there is sometimes stickers or a little activity in the back, though truthfully my kids have never cared for them much.I like that there are many of these books because my kids become familiar with George and the concept of series, and can distinguish one book in the series from another and even have favorites.I really don't think you can go wrong with these books. I don't know many other kids that don't like these. They are a good investment!

this is another great book in the curious george series, and is real fun....my nephew loves this series, and the character. the book (as with all of this collection) is easy to read, has lovely illustrations, and is always a well-received gift. ideal for 4-5 year olds.

最近またジョージにはまってしまい少しずつタイトルを集めています。このお話の内容はタイトルにもあるように誰かの誕生日お話です。(きっと表紙を見て誰の誕生日かわかる人もいると思うので言いませんが) 私が言いたいのは、絵よく見て!!とゆうことです。知ってる人も多いとは思いますが、ORIGINAL ADVENTURESとNEW ADVENTURESでは絵が違います。もちろんNEW ADVENTURESもお話によって描いている方が違うのでジョージの顔も違います。作品によってジョージの顔も違うし周りの絵の雰囲気自体も違うので、お話の内容だけでなく絵に注目して読んでみるのもいいかと思います。ぜひ楽しんでください!!
