#Review: Curious George Goes to a Costume Party by Margaret & H.A. Rey #childrenspicturebooks #bookseries



Synopsis:

George is excited to attend his first costume party, but there's just one problem--he doesn't have a costume! Will the mischievous little monkey be able to find the perfect one without starting too much trouble?

Mrs. Gray's party isn't just any party--it's a costume party, and George and the man with the yellow hat aren’t wearing costumes! No matter—there are plenty in an old trunk upstairs, and soon George is trying on all kinds of outfits. But it's not long before George gets in the bed sheets. His new look may give the guests a scare at first, but in the end George is the life of the party!

My review:

I did not necessarily grow up with the Curious George series of books but I did love them. This edition is simply great.

To have George trying out Halloween costumes is pure fun. Of course he wants to know what he looks like and all sorts of havoc happen.

I love how George is well, curious, and always keeps working on things until he figures it out. His ever present yellow-hatted friend is always there to support him. This book also had a cast of other characters that obviously love George. Who wouldn't love him even when he is in mischief? In this book, he tries out so many costumes until he finds just the right size. Don't we all do that?

One of the things I love about this book, like others, is the color that is injected throughout and that the illustrations are real. The stories always make you want to smile and simply feel good.

5 stars.

Disclosure: I picked up a copy of this book from my local library. The views here are 100% my own and may differ with yours.
