 OK, but not the best curious george book August 1, 2008
Our two and a half year old daughter fell in love with Curious George, both in print form and on the PBS cartoons. As we are preparing for a trip soon, I thought this would be a good book for her to learn about airports and airplanes and long trips.
This is the only Curious George story I've read or seen that I actively dislike. The story is disjointed and I keep feeling the need to interrupt the story to explain the missing narrative flow. Example #1: George is searching for a toy in an airport then suddenly he's on the airplane. Do I bother trying to explain that conveyor belts take bags to airplanes, or do I leave it as a magical disjointed leap? Example #2: sometimes the story follows George's point of view and other times it follows the man's point of view. So the story is a bit awkward and incoherent. It also has less dramatic tension and mystery than other Curious George books. Finally, this book didn't really teach the child about long air trips as I was hoping it would. Nothing about checking bags, staying close to mom & dad in a crowded airport, taking a nap on the plane, etc..
I don't mean to be so critical -- it's Curious George after all, and my daughter at least enjoys this book a little. But with such a wide variety of great Curious George stories, why choose one that's not very good? Try the Costume Party story instead, that's one of our favorites.
Great plane book April 7, 2008
My son is really into airplanes and Curious George right now, so this is a great book for him (2. 5 yrs old). It would be an especially great one for a little "pre flight" gift.
