Description--In this early reader based on the Curious George TV, show George learns about counting and grouping at a dog show.Curious George discovers surprises (and mischief) at his first dog show--and even brings the contestants home with him! When George becomes curious about how many dogs are in his apartment, he devises a clever way to find out. This simple story is perfect for children who are learning to sound out words and use visual clues to read stories. The animated series Curious George is available to watch on Peacock, NBC Universal’s streaming platform.
We're going through our collection of Step-1 or Level-1 readers with my now 7-year-old. He could probably advance to level-2 at this point, but I want to finish up the Level-1/Step-1 books that we have. He picked Curious George: The Dog Show out of our stack.
Curious George: The Dog Show is about George visiting a dog show for the first time. He watches the dogs stand around, but he expected them to do tricks. He loved visiting with the dogs after the show so much that he decided to take them home with him. Once home, he realized having all the dogs together was a little much and he decided to separate them. He separates them by big, small, and hairy. Then he counts each one. Ultimately the Man With the Yellow Hat and the dog owners show up.
Curious George: The Dog Show gets 4 Stars. It follows typical Curious George, getting into mischief and misunderstandings, but I liked how this book also had categorizing and adding included. These are both concepts that need to be developed by the same time or before being able to read Step-1 readers. Have you or your child read Curious George: The Dog Show? What did you think? Let me know!
