What's It About?
In CURIOUS GEORGE GOES CAMPING BY I READ WITH, George goes on a camping trip, learning to put up a tent and seeing animals. His curiosity gets the best of him, and he wanders into the forest where he's sprayed by a skunk. Climbing a tree to escape the stench, he sees a forest fire and uses his bucket to gather water and put out the fire. After reading the story, kids can use the puppet theater to retell the story. They can hear the story read aloud or read and discuss with a parent, using questions and prompts.
Is It Any Good?
The story is classic Curious George with the fun antics and familiar illustrations that kids and parents love. Curious George Goes Camping by i Read With manages to put the resources of master reading teachers into parents' hands in an easy-to-follow format. The living words are adorable illustrations that show kids what the word is -- the word "puppy" morphs into a puppy when tapped -- and kids or parents can record themselves saying the words, which will be repeated when tapped. The language and reading levels are totally customizable, and the "Read & Talk" section leads parents through discussing the story with kids by giving them questions to ask to help kids read critically, advancing from comprehension questions to evaluation questions.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about fire safety. What should kids do if they discover a small fire? Talk about why it's important to make sure campfires are fully extinguished.
Use the questions in the "Read & Talk" section and add questions of your own based on your family's experiences.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
