Editorial Reviews "Completely charming." -Southern Jewish Life - - From the Publisher PreS-Gr 1--An original selection based on the beloved character created by Margret and H. A. Rey. Curious George is a guest at a Hanukkah party, where he sees children make jelly doughnuts, plays dreidel, and watches the Man in the Yellow Hat light the menorah. He helps make latkes, plays follow the leader, assists with cleanup, and wraps up a treat for a sick friend. The reasons behind most of the activities are not provided, e.g., the lighting of the menorah is described, but the reason behind it isn't given, making this book more suited to children who already know about the holiday. Despite the glittery cover, rhyming text, and charming images of George breaking eggs and washing dishes, this board book with tabs is an additional purchase.--Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library - School Library Journal
