Another great adventure for curious George

Curious George goes to a party at their dear friends house. To his surprise it ended up being a costume party and a witch at the front door startles him. As he enters the house he starts to realize that all these interesting characters are his friends. Mrs. Gray has some extra costumes upstairs and invites Curious George to try some on. He finds a costume and starts jumping on the bed to see himself in the mirror. The he accidentally falls off the bed and get tangled up in a sheet and goes running through the house scaring everybody in the house because they think he is a ghost. This is a very cute book and I love the Curious George series. I think most children would appreciate this book.

Good

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.

George and the Man With the Yellow Hat Go to a Halloween Party

Illustrated by Martha Weston in the style of Curious George creator H.A. Rey, Curious George Goes to a Costume Party follows George and the man with the yellow hat as they attend a Halloween party at Mrs. Gray's house. What Mrs. Gray forgot to tell them, though, is that it was a COSTUME party! Mrs. Gray takes George upstairs to look through a trunk to find a costume, and George tries on many of them! Will he be a ballerina? Nah, too silly. What about Frankenstein? Nah, too scary! What about a firefighter or a rabbit? No...one was too big and the other too small. Which costume does Curious George ultimately select? And what happens when a white ghost goes sliding down the bannister to the surprise of the guests waiting below? You'll have to read Curious George Goes to a Costume Party to find out! If your child is a fan of the Rey books, as well as the PBS series, they'll no doubt enjoy this delightful book celebrating Halloween.

Typical Curious Fun!

At first I was a little suspicious about this book, "illustrated in the style of H.A.Rey by Martha Weston." I didn't want anybody messing with my dearly loved friend, Curious George! I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This book tells the Halloween adventures of our curious little pal, as he and the man with the yellow hat go to a costume party. At first, George finds it a bit scary because he doesn't understand about make-believe dress-up, but then he gets into the fun of it. They need to borrow costumes from the hostess of the party and George has lots and lots of choices. Due to George's typical curiosity, the party becomes much more lively than the hostess intended! The story and the illustrations are true to the style we know and love from the original Curious George books by Margret and H.A. Rey. The pictures are brimming with action and excitement and colorful fun. This story has the added benefit of introducing some Halloween characters that little ones may be frightened of and showing that they are really just pretend and taking the scariness out of them. It also shows fun Halloween customs like jack-o-lanterns, bobbing for apples and other party activities. This is a real treat for Curious George fans and for fans of Halloween. Don't miss it.

nice halloween alternative, with George

This Curious George book is a nice alternative to other Halloween books, because it explores Halloween traditions other than trick-or-treating. Curious George and the man with the yellow hat go to a friends house for a Halloween party, and it is a costume party. George and his friend have to borrow costumes from the hostess, and of course George's curiosity gets him in trouble. The guests play games like bobbing for apples. This book is funny, like most curious george books. Children aged three and four who are just becoming familiar with Halloween will appreciate George's antics, and learn about halloween and costume parties at the same time.There is nothing in this book that scared my son, aged 3. I don't think there is anything in here that would scare the average child of 3 or 4 years old. It's wholesome Halloween fun.ken32
