Product Description
It's Christmastime! And irrepressible, excitable Curious
George has just the spirit for it. He can't wait to help his
best friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat, pick out their holiday
tree. At the tree farm, however, amid all the excitement
of finding the perfect specimen, George gets carried
away, as usual?atop his favorite tree! Hiding in the tree's
branches, George finds himself delivered to the local children's
hospital, where his tree trimming antics cheer the
children and he gets to meet a jolly man in a bright red suit.

 Merry Christmas, Curious George December 21, 2008

Fun Story for My Nephew November 16, 2008
My four year old nephew is a faithful curious George fan. He loves the books and the television programs. As my nephew is a curious little fellow who sometimes gets into trouble for his own investigations, he finds a kindred spirit in the cheeky little monkey who always tumbles into his adventures.
My nephew loves to hear this story (over and over and over), and he loves to discuss all the items in the book's richly, clever illustrations--especially when George first decorates the tree with items he finds in the children's hospital---X-rays, crutches, cups, cards, medical supplies! One of his favorite story moments is when the nurse is picking up the naughty monkey to remove him from the hospital. Ah, but the children and my nephew beg for him to stay!
Reading to children is important. Reading builds personal connection, observation, critical thinking, and language in ways that today's loud, obnoxious video games and automated toys do not. The Curious George books continue teach and reach generations of children. They are a family favorite here, and they are always welcomed.
A bonus of this book is that my nephew is learning some health / hospital vocabulary in a fun, non-threatening way. This book opens the door to talk to children about children who might be sick or hurt or who might have to have extended stays in the hospital. It allows for a discussion about why some people may need X-Rays, crutches, canes, wheelchairs, etc. With adult guidance, a child can learn empathy and compassion for others through this book. Of course, bringing comfort and cheer to those who need it the most also speaks to the spirit of Christmas.
The book is a lovely edition to my nephew's library of favorite tales. We believe that fans of Curious George Goes to the Hospital would enjoy this Christmas book.
Curious George book August 31, 2008
This is a very nice, fun book for a child who loves Curious George. I am saving it for Christmas. He is going to love it. I do.
Fantantic January 7, 2008
We love George! Book came and we were so excited. George always gets himself into trouble but also gets himself out of it! We started our George collection in 1999. My oldest son received his first stuffed George for his birthday! He carried that George around with him everywhere. Our second son has loved George since he was a baby. We love to read and George books make it fun. This book is as great as all the others.
 Still hasn't arrived on Jan. 2nd. January 2, 2008

I honestly can't review the book, because it never arrived! I ordered it for my nephew on Dec. 2nd, and it didn't arrive in time for Christmas. It's now Jan. 2nd, and it still hasn't arrived. Two other items ordered from Amazon haven't arrived either. (One is a My Little Pony Christmas book which I ordered for my niece...)
This experience is not typical of Amazon, and I welcome a customer service rep to contact me to get it straightened out.
