PreS-Gr 2—This translation of A Treasury of Curious George (Houghton, 2004) contains eight stories: "Curious George Takes a Train," "Curious George Visits a Toy Store," "Curious George and the Dump Truck," "Curious George and the Birthday Surprise," "Curious George Goes Camping," "Curious George Goes to a Costume Party," "Curious George Visits the Library," and "Curious George in the Big City." The English text appears in black type followed by the smooth Spanish text in blue, for an easy transition between the languages and a flowing reading experience.—Freda Mosquera, Broward County Library, FL
This bilingual collection features eight of the more recent Curious George books illustrated in the style of H. A. Rey. While the volume's design makes the read-aloud-ready Spanish translation accessible, the commercialization and branding of the little monkey doesn't do the story lines any favors.
