Great for preschool!
This is such a simple book to read to preschoolers about Ramadan! It is easily understood by kids who celebrate Ramadan and those who do not. I have read it several times in my preschool classroom and the kids always enjoy it and learn a lot. It opens up discussion of some traditions associated with Ramadan.

Best Ramadhan teaching book for little kids
I got this book for my little daughter to help her learn about Ramadhan and fasting. She LOVED it, the colors are great, the material they have used is good with thick paper that it is easy to turn the pages for little ones, and the story was so nice and easy to understand. It explains in simple words the celebration of this holly month among families and how they celebrate the end of Ramadhan, we LOVE it. We added this story as part of our Ramadhan tradition to read it every year. And we plan to send copies to my niece and nephews to enjoy as well. :)

Cute
It's a very good short story to explain to your children about Ramadan. Especially if you have a more secular approach to religions this is a very good start to explain to your children about Islam.

A holiday classic!
Ramadan is a special time of year, and reading this book can be a special addition to your family's Ramadan rituals. It reminds us of the true spirit of Ramadan, teaches younger ones or those unfamiliar with the month about the holiday, and gives us creative ideas of how to reap the blessings of this Blessed Month. The Curious George character is sure to be a family favorite that many parents may remember from their own childhoods! A joy to read and fun for everyone! P.S. I liked this so much I bought it as an Eid Gift for my entire family! (Also, Great Seller! Item as described, timely delivery, would highly recommend buying from them.)

Super cute introduction to Islamic holidays
I got this book as a gift for a child who celebrated their first Eid and first Ramadan. It’s a short read cute and does a great job covering what Ramadan and Eid are all about. It’s perfect for young ones who would like to learn about their own background but also for those who would like to learn about important holidays different from their own.

Good reading to all children to know something about Ramadan
Great book to read to my child who loves Curious George. It's rhyming scheme makes it an easy read, while also giving me the opportunity to talk about Ramadhan and it's meaning to my child. It gives enough information about what Ramadan is to the general public as to not be too preachy or overly religious, and has just enough information for the Muslim parent to talk about the religious aspect with his/her small child. I recommend this book for the little ones who love Curious George and his adventures, and would like to know how he spent his Ramadan with is friend. Only critique I have is that George didn't cause too many problems to be the same little curious guy we know.

Everyone loved it
I bought this book as a Ramadan gift for all my nephews and nieces. The parents immediately fell in love with the book. It reminded them of their childhood characters (Curious George) and were amazed to see that they had a Ramadan book. They enjoyed reading the book to the kids during Ramadan and talking about it among the children and adults. It was great to see how much the adult also enjoyed the book.

We aren't Muslim, but what with all the Curious George, Madeline, Clifford's Christmases and Halloweens on our bookshelf (not to mention the abundance of white boys and girls), we simply felt the need to introduce Eid and Ramadan to our family. Other kids at school also celebrate different holidays, so it's useful to start conversations with the offspring. I was a little surprised to find half way through the words were a sing-song rhyme, like some classics; this isn't necessary (most classic Georges don't rhyme), and I found it a bit distracting, but not too contrived.

Originally bought this for my son last Ramadan. He loves it, insists we read it at least once a week since. I've bought another as a gift for my nephew this Ramadan. The book is well written and an easy read. The illustrations are relatable. I can see it being a firm favourite in my house for a while. My son is now almost 3 and my nephew is almost 4.

It’s nice to see books we grew up with having inclusive content! And the explanations were surprisingly correct and well done, love this book.

This book surprised me, because i didnt expect a book like this so near to the sunnah. Breaking fast with dates and milk, mummy with hijab and father with beard, "the peaceful sound of prayer" ist mentioned. The book has a great quality and is filled with beautiful pictures and colors. George the little monkey accompanys the little boy kareem through his first ramadan. Full of joy and positive motivation! Ein super Buch um Kleinkindern nach Quran und Sunnah den Ramadan näher zu bringen. Es hat mich sehr überrascht, dass es so nah an der Sunnah ist: Das Fasten wird mit Datteln und Milch gebrochen, die Mama trägt Hijab, der Vater trägt Bart und der "friedvolle Klang des Gebetes" ist an einer Stelle erwähnt. Ein sehr schönes Design und schöne Bilder und Farben! Der neugierige Affe George begleitet den kleinen Jungen während seines ersten Ramadan. Voller Freude und positiver Motivation. Sehr empfehlenswert.
