It's Monkey Mayhem with CURIOUS GEORGE!

Just a few days ago,  I was so delighted to receive a CURIOUS GEORGE package on my front door  courtesy of PBS KIDS® and Latina Bloggers Connect. The package included a Bilingual book called, “Jorge el Curioso” and a set of DVDs containing new episodes featuring CURIOUS GEORGE. Of course, my two year old daughter brashly grabbed the book right out of my hands. She is a big Curious George fan, and it’s so thrilling to watch the same excitement in her face that I had when I was a little girl while reading CURIOUS GEORGE books. Although, I must say, my daughter is very lucky because I get to read the book to her in Spanish! If you can’t read to your kids in Spanish, that’s OK because right now in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, PBS Kids will air episodes of Curious George with his friend Marco during the week of September 15.
 

The month of September is definitely monkey mayhem, and If you’re a Curious George fan like my family is, I promise you, you don’t want to miss out on the new season premiering on September 5, 2011 with an all new episode called “Auctioneer George”. There will be ten brand new episodes this season. Since we're  fortunate to receive a screening of the new season ahead of time, I can tell you first hand, you don’t want to miss it. Their sixth season focuses on a new art theme that encourages children to explore science, math, and engineering. My daughter’s favorite episode was “SockMonkey Opera” set to air on September 5^th. In this episode, Betsy gets the chicken pox and can’t see her favorite opera, so she sends George in her place. My daughter just got a kick out of George performing. 

As a stay at home mother who is always trying to find new and encouraging techniques to educate my children, CURIOUS GEORGE is where it’s at. Especially if you want to educate your child on Hispanic culture, make sure to toon in on the week of September 15. The stories of CURIOUS GEORGE are dear memories of my childhood and now I am pleased to see that they will be those of my daughter's. What is your best memory of CURIOUS GEORGE?
