Customer Reviews

Has been a constant favorite for years!
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.

Great episodes
My two year old daughter is obsessed with Curious George and all the dvd's that are available in the series, except the one about being scared of the dark. I believe that scary episode is on "Rocket ride". All the other George Dvd's including this one are really great for young children.

Not your father's Curious George (or yours)
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.
