Curious George's First Day of School

We used this for when my son was about to start daycare and it was a great book for that! It introduced the classroom type setting and being dropped off and picked up and Curious George is always fun to follow since he’s always up to something!

My son, age three, has been obsessed with Curious George for about a year now. We have most of the book titles in print now. I purchased Curious George's First Day of School for my son a few months before he began preschool to help prepare him for the experience. While this book is more about George visiting an elementary or primary school classroom, it did help start the conversation with my son about going to school. Of course, in this tale George finds a way to cause more unintentional trouble, with a happy ending. The story is simple and appeals to my little preschooler. A must for every Curious George fan! A side note: this story is written and illustrated in the more classic George style, not the PBS television show.

Really really cute book. My nephew is starting kindergarten and I thought this would be a good story for him since he loves the Curious George movie. He isn't one to sit and enjoy listening to stories to often, but we are trying to change that. He actually day and enjoyed every minute of this book and pointed out illustrations he liked. He said he loved the story and he relayed what happened afterward remembering many moments of the story. Great buy.

Great for kids beginning school

All my life, this sad little monkey made me feel better. I could identify with him, and I could identify with the man in the yellow hat. Maybe that's the genius of H.A.Rey -- when we read a Curious George book, we can believe, no matter how much we screw up, no matter how much life hurts, the man in the yellow hat will make everything work out all right. Likewise, we can believe the same about others when they fail us. We can be their man in the yellow hat. I suppose, really, we need kindness in these days, H.A. Rey's books ooze kindness. Take a quick read! Read it to a child -- only takes 5 to 20 minutes. It'll be some of the best time you have ever spent.

He messed up but fixed it by himself with the help of his new friends at the school other than the man in the yellow hat

This was a fun little story for my grand daughter starting Pre K.

I bought this book for my child who is beginning Kindergarten this fall. He is a big fan of Curious George. This is a good book to start talking more about beginning school! He really enjoys this book. I find any time there is a big transition in kid's lives it is good to have a couple of good books to help them feel more comfortable with the transition, this is one of those.

Ha sido un regalo para mis sobrinos, les ha encantado a ellos y a sus padres

Delivery on this book was,,,,, dreadful,, I think it almost took 2,1/2 weeks, as i ordered for my God-Son who is Georges,,,Brother (his words) and everyone that comes into the house now has a read of his book, Just a real shame it did not arrive in time for his Birthday,,,I am now going to order 1 for Christmas so it will arrive in time,,

Havent' yet had time to read it to the kids but see above. George's adventures are always well appreciated by the children (3-6) in our classroom at story time.

A favourite in our household

super e consigliato per inglese dei vostri figli . le storie di curious george hanno il merito di essere brevi, divertenti, illustrate, stampate a caratteri grandi (per i primi tentativi di lettura in inglese) , varie, numerose (creando aspettativa per la nuova storia nei vostri figli), molto economiche, da collezionare. insomma: consigliato assolutamente come primo step nell'insegnamento dell'inglese a bambini da i 3 anni in su
