Curious George: One Parent's Perspective
February 14th, 2009
Our 4-yr-old daughter, Megan loves Curious George. I mean, LOVES. Every morning at 7:00, she turns the TV on and watches her favorite monkey. She’ll be in the family room all by herself and I’ll hear her laughing like she’s just seen the funniest comedian on stage. I’ll start laughing at her laughing! It’s really hysterical. Since Curious George only comes on twice a day, we were thrilled to discover the Curious George website on PBSKids.org. The site is very kid-friendly and features 80 video clips of real-world curiosities. It’s an educational gold mine. Megan likes learning about anything her buddies, Curious George and The Man in Yellow Hat are interested in.
Megan also loves to color and the Curious George site delivers on that too! There are enough Curious George printable pages to make Megan her very own coloring book! Megan’s favorite part of the site is the game section! With over 20 games, that curious little monkey keeps her entertained for hours!
As a parent, I appreciate her independence and was very excited when we discovered KidDotComs.com. Now Megan can navigate the Curious George website and many others without me constantly hovering. I feel safe knowing the sites she visits are parent-approved and that by following the KidDotComs security recommendations, I don’t have to worry about her stumbling upon an inappropriate website. Now Megan can satisfy her own curiosity without getting into as much trouble as her primate friend! Hooray for Curious George and KidDotComs.com!
