Product Description
The world's most curious monkey investigates new words
in this lively picture dictionary for young children.
Curious George's Dictionary is an engaging picture dictionary specially
designed for children from preschool through first grade. Both
entertaining and educationally sound, it features charming illustrations
and reflects recent research in early childhood literacy, setting it apart
from other picture dictionaries.
The main part of the dictionary is an A-Z section containing
approximately six hundred words, six words to a page. Each word is
illustrated with a full-color drawing, most of which have been created for
this book by the popular illustrator Mary O'Keefe Young. More than half
the illustrations include a sample sentence that puts the word in a familiar
context.
A four-page illustrated story at the front of the book shows George
learning how to look up words in his dictionary, drawing children in while
introducing them to dictionary skills. At the end of the book, seven one- to
two-page illustrations present groups of words related by simple themes
such as colors, shapes, and numbers.
Developed in collaboration with educational consultants, the word
list includes not only concrete objects but many more abstract concepts,
like discover and enough, than do other picture dictionaries. Such words
are essential for vocabulary development, and Curious George's antics
bring them alive, making them easy and fun for children to learn.

 Curious George Dictionary December 1, 2008
Revised classic from yester-year.
Best suited for pre-kindergarten
child.
Sturdy hardcover
cute illustrations
Fabulous... even for 2-year-old November 24, 2008
My 28-month-old loves Curious George, and he now loves this dictionary. He enjoys pointing to pictures and asking "What's George doing now?" Within a few days of receiving the book, we had covered every page.
The words in this book are pretty basic, and the visuals match the words very well. For young kids who love George, it's wonderful.
More than a dictionary... November 11, 2008
An excellent book for my 4 year old boy who is learning to sight read. Each word has a picture and many are used in a sentence. This is a great format for this "first" dictionary. The fact that it features the much-loved "George" is just a bonus.
$11; What a bargain! July 24, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I see why I'm the first reviewer. The discription says everything and plainly. But I'd like to add that if I were just learning to read/speak english, this would be my first purchase. This book was rated for 9-12 year old readers; well I bought it for my 5yr old grandson, but think that my 2yr old will enjoy it also.
