Description:
Curious George is out adventuring again! Join him as he visits the lake, town and
zoo. Kids choose transportation to each area, and at each destination there's a
resident "authority figure" to guide George through the adventure. He'll meet the
Zookeeper, Park Ranger and News Vendor. The story is ever-changing, and there is no passive, "read-to-me" option -
kids are active participants in visiting places and visiting characters. In the
unlikely event that your child is ever bored with this title, there is also an option
to make your own Curious George story, and even print it out!

Reactions:
My kids love the original Curious George books. Having their pal on
CD-ROM is a lot of fun, and their favorite part was flying over the activity centers
by holding balloons. There are opportunities to "make" a boat and kite and fun activities
and matching games. Hey, where else will you get a chance to play Ring Toss with a rhino??
