Great book to help your child learn to read :)
I love reading with my son and have been doing so since he was a baby. When I saw these books I had to buy them as they have Curious George in them and they are a learning tool. My son enjoys reading these books with us, he loves to hear the story and is starting to learn some of the words.The books are simple books with mostly simple sentences. On the inside cover of each book there is a helpful guide that will tell you words you will see in the book to learn and other word that are in the book so you can look for them. I have included a picture of one cover so you can see what it looks like, also a picture to how you the cover of a book along with the cardboard case in which the books come. The 3rd picture I have included shows a couple of pages of one book to give you an idea of what they look like inside.I am looking forward to many more hours, days, weeks, months and years of reading with my son. My son is 3 and already learning some words... it's so exciting :) If my review helped you please click the button below, thank you and God bless!

Perfect combination of PHONICS, sight words (few) and FUN COLOR PICTURES!
I bought this set with high hopes of it helping engage my 6yo boy and help him understand the phonics side of reading and boost his confidence. It is working PERFECTLY! The phonics skills are dominant yet they have sight words (introduced in the front book cover to review right before reading the book) that don't follow the phonics rules. They use compound words nicely, also. I think this is wonderful because it also helps build confidence, the word may look too big to read but then they realize it is two small words they can sound out and Kaboom! They can read BIG words! Each book has a short introduction to review the contents of the book: Book 1 - Curious George Is Happy - New sounds in this book: short A as in LAP, H as in HOLD. Here are some useful words you will see in this book. See how well you can learn them! IS ON SO Here are some fun new words you will see in this book RABBIT PANCAKES. Book 4 - The Doctor's Office- New sounds in this book: short O as in NOT, D as in DOCTOR. Here are some useful words you will see in this book. See how well you can learn them! WHY NO AT Here are some fun new words you will see in this book. HOSPITAL PROBLEM DOCTOR LOLLIPOPThese books are colorful, and have mostly simple (confidence building) and fun words to read keep my boy interested. On day 3 of reading them, he lit up and said, "I'm getting better!"What is very cool is that these beginner books are very similar to the more advanced books so you can get the more advanced books as they progress and they will retain and recognize the similarities! I find these wonderful and love that my son now feels confident reading to his little sister, who in a couple of years can use the same books to learn to read! Worth buying!

Perfect first "real" reading book
I bought the hard cover from Costco years ago but it's been lost in a move. I purchased the kindle version today and it's perfect for on the go. Both my boys, at just turned 4 (and just learning to read), can pick this up on the first try. The stories are short so the kids did get bored or gave up.

Early readers not beginners
Definitely for beginner readers and not to start out reading. Books have a theme sound but not same repetitive words throughout.

Perfect
My son loves these books and is showing more interest in reading. Anything to remove my children from electronics is a plus!

I'd rate this a 6 if I could!
I bought this based on other reviews. Someone said this is a good set of books for kids who love Curious George, which describes my son. He is 3 years old and loves Curious George and anyone in real life that is named George. Really all because of this little monkey!! So, we got the books and I opened them and showed him Book 1: "Curious George is Happy." The sentences are basic with a few more complicated sentences thrown in. This book starts with "George is happy;" and ends with "Sometimes George is so happy that he has to dance." I read the book to him and asked what he wanted to do. He said "I want to read." So off he went with Curious George and I heard him "reading." "Curious George happy...." He has really gotten into these books and doesn't put them down except to sleep.To be honest, he plays reading games online and I was looking for an engaging (to him) set of books to help connect the dots: reading happens offline, too. He is active and no doubt this set of books has him heading in the right direction. For an adult, these books are repetitious and short, but that is exactly what a beginning reader needs. I give this set an A++. I am very happy with my purchase.

Not a good quality
Nice books my 4 year loves reading it. He also has set of curious George board book so I bought these paper books. But I m disappointed to see it's quality. All books are loosely binding n after 2 days most of the books started getting separate.

Very nice books
Very nice books, a bit bigger than other phonics sets. Nice quality. My seven year old loves them! Similar to the regular series, just a shortened form of the stories.

We love Curious George in our house
We love Curious George in our house, but there was only one issue! One book was duplicated, and another was missing. Our daughter is only two so she didn't notice, but I was disappointed.
