Customer Reviews

The twins loved it!

We bought this book for our slightly-more-than-2-year-old twin grandsons, and they loved it. At this age, they're more interested in identifying the pictures than following the concept, but that's ok. They seemed more interested in the water picture than getting the difference between wet and dry, or jump up and jump down. But there's something about the monkey image that is endlessly fascinating to them. Go for it!

Excellent

My 11-month old boy laughs every time I show him this book. I also enjoy reading this as you can actually create mini stories with each set of opposites so it's much more entertaining than usual oposite books.

One of the greatest books of all time

I have read this book over one hundred times, no kidding! This is one of the finest literary and illustrative works ever made. The anticipation and excitement of the page where George lets the pigs out will make your kids squeal with delight!

Entertaining!

Tag along with George as he explores opposite ideas in this charming little board book. "Curious George's Opposites", demonstrates contrary concepts "George climbs UP, and then jumps DOWN," in an amusing and pleasing fashion. The colorful images and simple text will capture babies attention while entertaining small children too. Birth and up.

simple concepts, fun

My 16-month-old daughter has loved this book since she was around 8 months old. I'm not sure what appeals to her, but I think it must be the clarity and charm of the illustrations, the easy to understand concepts of "up", "down", etc. and the sweetly naughty behavior of George. Who knows -- it works!
