Customer Reviews

Best pictures I've seen on Kindle

My 2 year old has requested it. That qualifies for 5 stars. There's no doubt that images were optimized for Kindle. This book has the best graphics I've seen on Kindle. Only drawbacks, one page or line seemed to be missing and I wish all of the pages with text had a picture also and vice versa. I wish the books were more like half the price of paper. It was exciting to finally see a major little kids' charachter series on Kindle and done well. I hope more are on the way.

Good

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.

Curious George

I love all the curious George books. Who Doesn't? author of "Hobo Finds A Home"

One of Katy's favorites

My 3 year old daughter Katy loves the Curious George books. She particularly like this one and wants to read it almost every night. As an aside, the book has taught Katy about the presidents on Mt. Rushmore and she wants to go to South Dakota to see them!

Curious George Strikes Again

Curious George and the Hot Air Balloon is another charming example of the magic Margret and H.A. Rey weave. Children will find this book enchanting. They will identify with George's curiousity, which causes trouble, and cheer when he saves the day. I enjoyed the delightful pictures. I also appreciated the simple, straighforward language and easy-to-follow story development. Fans of Curious George will love this story; those unfamiliar with his books will become fans.
