Reading Fun with Curious George Early Reader Boxed Set - ADVISABLE
Reading Fun with Curious George Early Reader Boxed Set. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. $9.99. PICTURE BOOK. As we know, Curious George was created by Margret and H.A. Rey. But these books only give credit to the pair for having created the character in the books, not actually written them. What is even more interesting is that the titles are adaptations from the Curious George show on PBS. The titles included in this boxed set are all Early Reader Level 1, and they are entitled The Dog Show, The Kite, Roller Coaster, The Boat Show, Plays Mini Golf, and Pinata Party. Also included in this boxed set are stickers, a poster, and a reading certificate. The truth is that I am happy to have this boxed set. Since my son is still an emergent reader, he needs all the books he can get his hands on. Getting six books for $10 is a good price, even if they are not the highest quality books in the world. The Poster and the certificate are junk in my opinion, but the stickers are fun (kids love stickers). If you know someone who is a level 1 early reader, then this would be a good gift for him/her.

Have you read The journey that saved Curious George : the true wartime escape of Margret and H.A. Rey ? It was very good and especially interesting if you are a Curious George fan. Man. Now I want to go and read about The Man in the Yellow Hat!
