Every day – it’s like clockwork: 5:00 comes, I get to start dinner, meanwhile PBS airs “Curious George”. This is a nice, quiet time for me and allows me to get the family’s dinner ready while the kids are watching and laughing to Curious George. Tucker got the first Curious George for his birthday a while back, then when the Christmas DVD came out, we were excited to see it and when Curious George 2 was announced, I was so excited! (For me, and the kids. )

Our thoughts:

On this DVD, there are two bonus never before seen shows, that the kids love and have watched over and over again – already! We have quiet time every evening. This is where the kids choose a movie to watch while they tame down and get ready for bedtime. 9 times out of 10, they choose Curious George. As a parent, I love Curious George because he is not only fun and cute, but he also does teach the kids things ranging from colors, counting and fun every day adventures. The extras that you can do with this DVD are so much fun. There are coloring pages that you can print out for your kids to color on. This is truly a film that you will want to add to your DVD collection!
