Review: Curious George's Neighborhood

Curious George's Neighborhood based on the character by Margret and H.A. Rey, 2004, ages 18 months-5 years (useful as beginning reader).
4 star rating out of five.
This is a wonderful lift-the-flap book. Kids always like to peek in and see what they may find. I have always been a big fan of Curious George, as are my children. Although they are almost grown now, they still love him. My oldest son is studying Early Childhood and purchased this book to put into a book bag to send home with his students. Wonderfully illustrated, this book does looks of exploring. The child will need assistance, at first, to open the flaps. I would recommend that a parent open them first so the child doesn't rip them off. The book is interactive as each turning of the page involves a question for your child to help answer. The pages are a sturdy cardboard so will be durable for even a young child. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
