The binding problem has been corrected

My wife and I read all of the reviews about how bad the binding was on this book. We debated about ordering it and decided to anyway, despite the quality, because my daughter absolutely loves the stories.

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find the book was in excellent shape. I could see where the binding had originally been made poorly, but they had rebound the book very well correcting the problem. We are very pleased with it and I recommend this book to anyone with children young and old. I still like the stories even at 40 and remember when my parents use to read them to me.

Superb - though the treatment of animals is showing its age

My 3-year-old wants only this book every night. And I enjoy the leisurely pace of the dialog, and the clever and charming illustrations. I also like that the stories are somewhat longer than her previous favorites as a challenge to her attention span.

The treatment of animals sometimes seems a little anachronistic. I don't personally see any harm in this, but I think there are parents nowadays who might not be keen on the story with the pet bunnies, the depiction of a zoo that has a bunch of cages, or the story with the travelling performing animal show.

The binding on our book has been quite durable. Perhaps if you get one that falls apart as described by a previous reviewer you should just return it and ask for a new one? My daughter has a Disney Princess storybook that I WISH would fall apart! ;-D

just wonderful

The stories in The Complete Adventures of Curious George are as captivating to my 3 year old as they were to me as a child. This is a wonderful compendium of timeless classics.

Wonderful Children's (& Parent's) Book

This compilation is wonderful and my daughter (5 yrs) pulls it out every 2 or 3 days. So many of the illustrations bring flashes of memories back from when I was a child and I love reading it to her. The book is very well constructed and we'll definately have it around for the next generation!

The Complete Adventures of Curious George

Excellent. Curious George reflects little boys everywhere. He is curious, adventurous and completely loveable. An additional treat tagged onto the end of this book is the fascinating insight into the life of H.A. Rey and his bride.
