Has been a constant favorite for years!
21 May 2009
My 4-year-old preschooler has loved Curious George since she was 2, and we have almost all the episodes. This DVD has a running time of about 1 hr 45 mins and contains 8 episodes, i.e.
"Curious George Takes a Vacation" - George and the Man with Yellow Hat go on a vacation but are delayed at the airport where George has an adventure of his own.
"Unbalanced" - George is inspired to do acrobatics in the circus
"The Times of Sand" - there's a sandcastle contest at the beach and George puts his skills to the test
"Curious George takes a Dive" - George finds a turtle and decides to bring it home, where the turtle isn't quite comfortable.
"Curious George, Sea Monkey" - George has an underwater adventure when he explores a coral reef
"Curious George Sees Stars" - George tries to keep count of all the stars in the sky
"Curious George and the Missing Piece" - George finds a bone in the ground and is convinced it is a dinosaur bone, and tries digging up more bones to piece the skeleton together.
"Castle Keep" - George and the Man with the Yellow Hat go to Scotland where George goes on a wild goose chase looking for his golf ball.
Besides the fun episodes there are also bonus features such as the star shapes game, DVD-ROM feature: Printable Coloring Pages and Connect-the-Dots.

Not your father's Curious George (or yours)
3 Mar 2009
I remember the Curious George books pretty well from my own childhood, so when I first saw this animated series, I was skeptical. Would it be as fun and educational as the original books? The answer surprised me ... it's BETTER!
The DVD consists of a series of short segments that are perfect for toddlers AND their parents. Each episode is full of humor. Your three-year-old may not get all the jokes, but you will! Each focuses on a specific concept: balance, coral reefs, leverage, and even paleontology. Each has a positive, pro-curiosity, pro-science message. There is a brief "reality" segment at the end, where a group of real children expand on the concepts presented in the cartoon segments. Both the animation and the background music are first-rate.
I can't even put my two-year-old to bed nowadays without at least a few episodes of "Cur George." He loves it, and ... yes, I'll admit it ... I think it's fun too.

The "funny monkey" is great fun
15 Sep 2008
My 2.5-year-old daughter adores George the "funny monkey"--his adventures are gentle and well-drawn. One of the aspects of the program I like best, however, is that each animated segment is followed by a live-action segment showing elementary school-aged kids participating in some activity related to the story. Balance concepts, for example, after a story of George and a high wire act. This format adds an additional learning element to the stories, and recalling my own reactions as a child to kids slightly older than me doing neat things, they have an inspirational quality that I would hope encourages children to move beyond the televised stories and do their own experimentation.
