Curious George Holds a Special Place in My Heart
Friday, December 18, 2009 at 01:01PM Here's a little something you might not know...
My grandparents were quite fabulous New Yorkers in their day and hung out with all kinds of cool people including... H.A. and Margaret Rey - the creators of Curious George. I actually have a signed sketch of George that was given to my Dad when he was little.
H.A. Rey Signed Original: Curious George Looks at the Stars
I lost my dad when The Twofer were just 3 weeks old, so the fact that they share a love for Curious George makes me feel like a little bit of my dad is with them. Even now at six, they still laugh and enjoy Curious George. Most recently we were given a review copy of Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas and they loved it! Even if they grow out of George, I know it will be something they pass onto their children.
What you will love about Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas:
The whole gang from George to The Man with The Yellow Hat to Hundley and Bill are there to help George celebrate Christmas. No matter how much good George tries to do, something always goes wrong... and often that is the silliest part. The music in the movie is great too (a A Very Monkey Christmas CD is available as well).
You might not care for this if:
You have children who are too old to appreciate George and his antics.
You don't celebrate Christmas because there is the whole countdown, tree buying, etc.
For our family, this was a great DVD to have to get us in the mood for the holidays. We love the classics for sure, but having something new to watch was great. And, as Curious George fan, this one holds a special place in my heart.
What's your favorite holiday show?
