Curious George Feeds the Animals

I love all the curious George books. Who Doesn't? author of "Hobo Finds A Home"

Being a "book family" and spending hours searching book stores and TEST-READING so many titles before purchasing, we stumbled upon this class H.A. Rey book and it's a "REAL WINNER". Our 3 yr old grandson Derek wants it read to him every night and I being an old zoo keeper and teacher enjoy it just as much as he does. Bah humbug to those who say it is repetitious - in repetition lies the foundation for early reading ....and as far as the scientific end of it - those zoo meals are just about on target except for too many bananas - must have been George's influence on the author. RUN OUT AND GET THIS "classic" FLAP BOOK F-A-S-T !You won't be disappointed and your early reader will adore it.

I have 3 children, ages 19, 10, and 4. When my oldest was 5 or so, I stumbled across these books. This is one title in a series of 5 books that ALL my children enjoyed in their childhoods. My 4 yr. old still picks these books for bedtime most every week. The artwork is wonderful...H. A. Rey had a wonderfully colorful and innocent style of art that is perfect for children. I as a parent like his art too. It is just really sweet.I can only say these are great little books; everyone who sees them likes them and they make nice gifts, and are inexpensive too. Our first set finally wore out and we recently bought new ones. I am glad to see that the paper is much stronger (thicker and laminated)--these are very durable books.These WILL be loved by your children!

This is a book by H. A. Rey, the author of the Curious George series. It is a fun story for preschoolers about life at the zoo. The rhyming, Lift-the-Flap format makes for extra involvement and entertainment. Children enjoy guessing which animals are behind each flap. The illustrations are very similar to the Curious George books. When my children were very small, sometimes Curious George was too long. This series (there are five books in Mr. Rey's Lift-the-Flap series) is a nice prelude to Curious George.

In this story George and his friend visit the zoo to see a new exhibit. George witnesses a zoo keeper feeding the seals and decides it would be fun to share his snack with the other animals. Because George can't read the signs by the animal cages he doesn't know that you should not feed the animals. After giving the zoo keepers a merry chase he is caught and told that feeding the animals things they shouldn't eat can make them sick. George feels bad and makes up for it by helping the zoo keepers with the new exhibit. Excellent story and introduces a number of different animals for children to identify.
