Happy Birthday, Curious George Board book – Picture Book, August 2, 2016

Lovely book, we used it as a guest book!

Cute book for Curious George lover!

Bought for my grandson's birthday. He loves his curious George.

My grandson enjoy this book

Our grandson's love George! What a great book for our grandson's 2nd birthday.

Love this book - love the rhymes so baby girl kind of dances to it while we read, and love the tabs and other lessons in the book so she'll be learning from it through her next several stages. There's a page with the sentences spelling out Happy Birthday with the first letters of each sentence, and the tabs walk through the different points of the day so there's stuff to learn even without opening it. It's super clever and it'll last us a long time.

If you're expecting a traditional Curious George book, where George uses his wits and problem solving ability to get out of self inflicted trouble, then this book will be a bit of a surprise. Instead, it is a set of sweet mini-stories that showcase George's birthday part of his day at a time. There are no problems to solve, and no use of his curiosity, but it is a pleasant birthday that can be used to give kids an idea of what to expect (if your household is a typical middle-class one). I appreciate how George writes thank-you cards at the end, setting a good example for young readers. Overall, the book is geared toward the younger side - maybe 3-4 years old rather than 5-6.

We purchased this for my two year old's birthday party and intended to have it double as a place for people to sign and write little messages to him. When I received it, I loved it too much and didn't want to ruin the pages. It's wordy for a child my son's age, but each spread tells a mini story, the illustrations are cute, and it's a great way to get littles excited about their birthdays.
