    I do not remember reading Curious George as a child, but I am sure I did! My children absolutely adore him. For quite a while, we had to watch the first movie EVERY day! They loved it. The music was so delightful and the actions of George, always in trouble, kept them quite amused. They also fell in love with George on TV and in book. I would love to win this for them!

    Thank you for the chance to win!

    My daughter loves anything with Monkeys on it and so she refers to Curious George as ‘The monkey book’ or ‘the monkey show’

    Thanks
