The Complete Adventures of Curious George

by: H. A. Rey

Amazon Price: $18.90 (as of 07/05/2009)
List Price: $30.00

Sixty years have passed since a curious little chimp in Africa met the man with the big yellow hat and got into the first of many scrapes. Decades later, George is as curious--and naughty--as ever. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Curious George's debut, this special edition is a collection of seven classic adventures by Margret and H.A. Rey, along with an introduction by critic Leonard Marcus, a retrospective note by publisher Anita Silvey, a history of the Reys by Dee Jones, curator of the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection, and a photo album. The many generations of fans of the "good little monkey who was always very curious" will be fascinated to learn how H.A. and Margret escaped on bicycle from German-occupied Paris, with just their winter coats and several picture books (including a draft of Curious George, then called Fifi) strapped to the racks. Photos and essays reveal H.A. to have been a gentle, humorous man, while Margret, by all accounts, was spirited and brutally direct, with a keen business mind. The chemistry between them worked beautifully. Between them, they created one of the most beloved characters in children's literature. This handsome volume includes Curious George, Curious George Takes a Job, Curious George Rides a Bike, Curious George Gets a Medal, Curious George Flies a Kite, Curious George Learns the Alphabet, and Curious George Goes to the Hospital. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Plush Tot Bunglie Bee 7"

Amazon Price: $9.49 (as of 07/05/2009)

Review
This little bee is the cutest one i have seen available. It has a sweet smile, it is huggable, it is durable, everything a grandma can ask for in a stuffed animal. It is not an educational toy,but what it has to offer in personality and hug-ability makes it definitely a worthwhile purchase. After all, sometimes we don't just need to be educated. Sometimes we just need a hug. I highly recommend this line of plush animals for the kid in your life, or the kid in you.
