I love Curious George. But this is not a typical Curious George story. He doesn't get into trouble, or meet new people, or do new things. He is just getting a lesson on the alphabet from the man in the big yellow hat. But that's okay, because life isn't an endless series of adventures...sometimes

one has to sit down and learn a thing or two. And that's what this book does. Otherwise, it's a typical "a is for apple, b is for bear" type book, nothing new.

into mischief but rather learning the ABC's. Each letter is placed into an animal or a part of nature. Each page uses alliteration to tell what each letter stands for. I like this book because of the alliteration instead of the normal A is for alligator books. I could use this book in a Pre-K classroom and even a nursery classroom to include the church setting. Starting you with the children gives them more time to absorb the lesson.
