Curious George and the Bunny Board Book

By H.A. Rey and Margret Rey

Book Overview

Based on a vignette in the classic Curious George Flies a Kite, this story features George finding a hutch of adorable bunnies. He thinks it would be so much fun to play hide-and-seek with one of the baby bunnies, so he lifts it from its cage, sets it on the ground, and closes his eyes. But--oh, no--the bunny runs off, and George can't find it anywhere! Luckily, Mother Bunny comes to the rescue. This board book with sturdy pages is perfect for little ones who love playing hide-and-seek. The classic artwork of H. A. Rey will make this a favorite to be read again and again.

Customer Reviews

Curious George without the naughtiness! Yippee!

I adore Curious George but had struggled with the idea of buying the books for my son because George is always so naughty but ends up being a hero in the end. That is not a great lesson for the pre-school set, I think! He NEVER gets in trouble. In fact, great accolades are usually the result of his failure to behave and follow instructions to stay home. The only bad review for this book is from someone who writes, rightly, that this board book is just an excerpt from Curious George Flies a Kite. That's true but that's why I LOVE THIS BOOK! It gives me the opportunity to expose my son to this much beloved character without teaching him the lesson that misbehavior is acceptable. This version is fabulous. It is a great length and has the lovely illustrations that I remember so fondly as a child. That said, the way in which George "helped the bunny out" of the hole (by pulling the bunny's tail) provides a good opportunity to discuss handling animals gently with your kids! :>) Otherwise, terrific!

A bedtime favorite

I bought this book because of my own fond memories of Curious George, and am happy to see that my 10-month-old son feels similarly. The story is long enough to have a real plot, yet short enough to keep his interest. The repetitive nature of the text ("bunny" appears on almost every page) also seems to reinforce the association between the text and the illustrations. Several of our friends have pet rabbits, and my son invariably pulls this book off the shelf after visits with them!

Short and simple

I love this book because it is short and simple, but still tells a story that flows. My one year son loves all the bunnies as well as George. I highly reccomend it!

18 month old loves this book

We read this book at least once a day to our 18-month old son, who now looks for "bunny holes" whenever we go for a walk. It's nice to have a short format book for Curious George-obsessed kids under two.

An adorable little board book

This is an awesome little book. I would highly recommend it. I loved it when I was a little girl and my niece loves it now. It's great!
