This board book isn't a story per se but rather a collection of poems. However, the poems do move along a continuum so they could be read all together as a story, although they could also be read separately. The book is designed with pictured tabs at the end, so even a young child's fingers could easily turn pages right to a favorite spread. This story lacks the usual delight of Curious George (he manages to stay out of trouble in this one), but it is still a sweet story about George getting ready for Halloween, including picking and carving a pumpkin and finding a costume, before giving out treats and attending a costume party. I picked this book out for my nephew because he likes Curious George (as do I!) but also because I prefer Halloween books for kids that talk about the things they do on Halloween (like carving a pumpkin and going trick-or-treating) versus those that talk about ghosts and whatnot.… (més)
