Praise for the Curious George books
"What distinguishes the George stories iswherethe trouble is-almost never in a person, never in humanity. George lives in a super benign world, even if it is often strange and unfamiliar to him. This is different than living in a world that is familiar but crowded with evil or indifference... George is at once an impossible monkey, a fantasy, and also, simply, one of us." -The New Yorker
"Curious George certainly deserves a spot on the shelf, and these engaging stories will provide a good exercise in imagination and creativity." -The Horn Book
