Review

This look-and-find offering fits all the criteria to suit its targeted audience. Curious George is the character that the readers seek in these busy, colorful, brilliant pages. The text is rhyming and lends itself to a read-aloud application. Each spread follows George through a busy day; he visits a playground, a fire station, an ice cream shop, a zoo, and eventually arrives home. There are other objects and creatures to look for on each two-page spread. The items are bright and big so even the youngest readers will not become frustrated but will find great joy in locating them. The pages are extremely sturdy and will stand the test of time and innumerable readings. This is definitely a choice to consider for shelves of all kinds.

Overall Book Score: very good
