Curious George Review
Curious George is probably the most popular character among most male children, but his antics are enjoyed by little girls as well.
All of the Curious George stories revolve around a little monkey, named George, and the Man in the Yellow Hat who has adopted him. It seems to be virtually impossible for Curious George to stay out of trouble and all of his behavior is a direct result of his curiosity. The little monkey is constantly going on trips and experiencing new things in his every day life.
One of the neat things about the Curious George series is that although the little monkey is quite troublesome, his antics are anything but intentional. In fact, many of the incidents are caused by George trying to help someone or complete a job that they have already started. Many teachers and parents appreciate the books for the humor that they provide, but admire the books for the lessons that children can learn without even trying.
Many classrooms have as a result purchased the various books available and have been using them for quite a few years. In fact, many teachers and parents can remember reading Curious George when they were actually children. While most of the Curious George books are intended for children learning to read and slightly younger, “Discovery Day” is somewhat of an interesting twist and is a story designed to help preschool age children learn their colors, shapes, letters, and animals.
Instead of a boring book filled with forced learning, this Curious George book makes it fun for kids to identify the different things while following a simple plot to keep them interested. Curious George “Discovery Day” is an excellent choice for parents that are trying to encourage older siblings to read with their younger brothers and sisters.
