Sloppy Pastiche
2 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover
H.A. and Margret Rey did not write or illustrate this book. It is one of the 2007 "New Adventures" and should not to be confused with Curious George Goes to the Aquarium (1984).
It gets an extra star because my toddler likes the book.
However, I think it is poorly written and the text sometimes does not match what is pictured.
For example, when George is pictured climbing a tree next to a wall, the book says he jumped over a gate. In another scene, George swings out over a tank of water in the penguin exhibit. The text says it is a "beluga tank". Beluga whales made an appearence earlier in the story but are not present in the scene.
While these faults may be minor, they stand out in a short book. I also think it shows a carelesss by the publisher.

Not Written by the Reys, and It Shows
4 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I love Curious George, but this book is just poorly written. It's written by Anderson, not Margret and H.A. Rey, and the style is disjointed and odd. The pictures are good and my daughter still enjoys it, but we thought it was an original Rey book when we bought it. Not hardly.

Not a cute classic George story
22 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We like Curious George, but this story seems a little forced. It isn't simple and cute like some of the others we like (Curious George goes to the Zoo, Curious George and the Pizza). It is very wordy and kind of confusing because the pictures don't really match what is happening. I don't usually give books a bad review, but even my son doesn't ask me to read this one that often.
