How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

1.0 out of 5 starsNo plot or excitement
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021
The new Curious George books are not well written in general. They've been passed through the filter of modern childrens' publishing. Nothing exciting can happen. And everything's politically correct. Strong thumbs down on this boring book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is our absolute favorite Curious George

This is our absolute favorite Curious George! Granted, I am always biased towards a good bookshop.... But this book contains the store, a cafe, banana bread, dinosaurs and, of course, George! It held my boys’ attention and was a fun read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curious George gets to meet his favorite author
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2015
When George’s favorite picture book author comes to the opening of a brand new bookstore, the man with the yellow hat takes him to meet her and get a book signed. But waiting in such a long line is tough for a curious little monkey, and George inevitably finds himself exploring the store. He discovers a cafe with free samples, an exciting display of dinosaur books, and a pile of mysterious boxes, which just so happen to contain copies of the newest Penny the Penguin picture book! But shouldn’t they be on display too? George decides to rectify that situation…

As always, Curious George is a delight that both parents and children will enjoy. This latest installment, "Curious George Goes to a Bookstore," is written and illustrated in the style of the original creators of Curious George, Margret & H.A. Rey. The pictures are darling, and children will delight in watching as their favorite adventurous monkey explores and gets into his usual brand of harmless trouble, while parents will enjoy this gentle introduction of the magical place that is a bookstore. All children seem to love Curious George, and this book will be a much-loved addition to your home library.

Review originally written for San Francisco Book Review.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good book
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018
Curious George Goes to the Bookstore by Margret and H.A. Rey is a story about a monkey named George who can be too curious sometimes and can get into trouble. You should read this book because the main character is very funny and the pictures are detailed.
I like the main character because he is funny. For example, he stacks a huge pile of books into a towering masterpiece at the bookstore. Another reason he is funny is because he does things that the reader doesn’t expect. For example, he samples about four pieces of banana bread at the cafe.
I also like this book because the pictures have great detail about what George is doing. For example, there is detail on page 15 when George is stacking his masterpiece made of books.
I hope you love this book as much as I do!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT written by H. A. Rey but is a pale imitation
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015
Did the author read any of the originals? This is dreadful. Nothing like the original books, the language is stilted and forced. For example, George 'purchases' a book. Purchases! The artwork is pretty decent but the language and the vocabulary is terrible.
