 Great for Listening Comprehension!, 2010-01-26
I have a 4 y.o. and we are trying to steer her away from so much TV time. This box set is great! Very reminescent of the books and record sets I used to have as a kid. She knows how to work the CD player herself and and can go and listen the stories whenever she likes. The CD even informs you what page to start on by describing the picture on that page. She knows where to start and it also comes with a "turn-the page" tone so child does not need help to follow along.
The only thing I didn't like which was why I gave it only 4/5 stars was that all the stories come all in one book together instead of the individual books. Because it's a heavier book, if my daughter leaves the book for a minute it sometimes closes or pages flip and she gets lost from the page she was on.
Otherwise a great investment for the conscientious parent.

 Great stories, but hard for little hands!, 2010-01-16
I ordered this along with several other books with CDs. I ordered them so that my 4 yr old son could sit and listen to the CDs while he looks at the stories.
The stories are GREAT and the pictures are fun, but the book has all of the stories in one, and it is HEAVY! My son has a really hard time just picking it up and reading it himself. I have to get him started, and then if it accidentally closes, he has no hope of finding where he was alone.
It would be much better if the 5 books were separate, but they were all on 1 CD.

 Very nice gift, 2009-09-17
I bought this set on two different occasions and both kids loved it. I was a star when my nephew went to Universal Studios and got to see Curious George there as well!

My Son Loves It, 2009-07-13
My two and a half year old son loves this set. The large book makes before bedtime reading fun and enjoyable and keeps his attention with the many pictures. He may not be old enough to read himself, but when listening to the audio CD he has caught on to turning the pages when prompted and enjoys "reading" the book by himself with the help of the CD. The CD also includes a copy without page-turning prompts that is great for listening to in our car.

Wonderful Set!, 2009-01-25
My 2 1/2 year old son absolutely loves listening to these stories. He listens to a different story at every nap time and at bed time. He looks forward to it so much, he has stopped protesting bedtime! And, this is after he had pretty much given up napping for several weeks -- this set is a miracle! Thank you, Curious George!
