Curious George

When I was a kid I had the Curious George rides a bike (I think that was the title) book. I really loved Curious George. It was my favorite kids book. I've always been a little sad that my kids didn't have the Curious George books. I mean we have so many books, you'd think we could manage to get them that set. I think we've talked about it before, but never ended up getting them.

I've been watching Paige and Charlie for almost 2 years now. For 2 summers my kids have gone with me when I work. Guess what Paige and Charlie have!?! They have the complete set of Curious George including how he came about by the author. So, my kids and Paige and Charlie have heard a lot of Curious George over the years. I will read that to them more then anything else. Really anytime they give me a chance!

I have to admit, I am really looking forward to the movie. The Curious George movie gets released tomorrow. Now, dash thinks it's a little young for our kids, but I think it's a classic so for the first time ever I will probably be the one to offer to take them to a movie! (Dad can come along if he likes. :) ) I also have to admit that I want to watch it enough that even if the kids aren't interested -- I will probably try to get to see this movie. I may wait for the release to DVD. I know that makes the most sense, but sometime in my future Curious George and the man with a yellow hat will be alive on screen for me! Oh, yeah and my kids too! :)

When I was a kid I loved Curious George. My dad always liked to point out that George usually deserved punishment for the stuff he did, but somehow got away with it anyway.

My brother loved Curious George. I think he still has all of his books. I think Curious George is neat too. I want to see the new Curious George movie also.

Uncle P got the Curious George Classics in a hard-bound cover for N's first Christmas! But I have been reading them to the boys alot now that they are interested in "chapter books". It has become our "coffee table" book!!

And I am looking forward to seeing the movie too! Of course, the boys are all about animated movies anyway!
