Product Description: Curious George is forever getting into trouble despite the warnings of the man in the yellow hat on this Read With Me DVD.
Designed in conjunction with a major children's publisher, Scholastic, the Read With Me DVD Learning System is a story comprehension and vocabulary system bringing timeless children's books even closer on DVD. Beloved illustrations are brought to life with thoughtful animation, the text is highlighted and read aloud to children. Children answer questions about the story using a wireless controller. Increasing their comprehension of the story and vocabulary will give them confidence in their own ability to analyze stories in general.
Editorial Review: What better children’s literature hero to accompany an educational product than H.A. and Margaret Rey’s classic inquisitive monkey, Curious George? On this pleasant and challenging DVD-ROM, George helps kids learn about vocabulary, story comprehension, and other skills. There are over 100 activities and questions included in the interactive disc, which is designed for use with the special Read With Me DVD hardware, and all of them feature the familiar bright color palate and familiar characters from the beloved Curious George series. We liked the blend of classic imagery with contemporary learning methods and found the interactive menus to be easy for children to manage. --Charlie Williams
Great fun and learning! My toddler loves the Read With Me DVD system. This Curious George DVD for the system allows you to turn "pages" on your own, let the system read the story to you, or play fun learning games. My toddler enjoys the game particularly where you select parts and flavors for the candy making machine, then wait for Curious George's reaction when he eats your latest concoction. The entire premise of the Read With Me DVD system is good, the DVD's themselves are excellent and fun learning tools, however, be careful with the required controller you must purchase. Just a couple of fat fingered double pokes of a button, and you end up having to reprogram the whole thing again. But, my toddler loves it, learns a lot from the games, and has discovered that she can also use her "remote control" when we are playing regular movie DVD's. The controller has held up for over a year with frequent use (and the occasional drop) from a two-to-three year old.
Product Misleading! Grandma bought the Curious George "DVD" for my 2 children and their cousin. We popped it in to our DVD player and tried using our DVD remote and it didn't work. I read the package and the box and nowhere does it tell you "Only for use with the Read With Me Controller". Even at the Fisher Price website it is not explained very articulately. Apparently you need to purchase a $25 "system" (aka-special remote control) that you program to interface with your own home DVD remote control and DVD player.
George is great! My daughter got this along with the Read With Me system for her 3rd birthday. She is madly in love with the George DVD. There are fun games in addition to the very cute story. If you have this system, your kid will love this story.
Read with me DVD: Curious George DVD rom I enjoy seeing my twin four year old son's play with the Read with Me DVD program and CD's. The children are learning as they play. I see them recalling information and reviewing parts of the story. This educational toy is very engaging.
The only problem I have with this toy is sometimes if the child is not on level with the DVD player it takes several tries to get the DVD player to respond to the remote.
NOT a DVD Please be aware that this is not a DVD for use in a DVD player. It is a disc made only for the "Read with Me DVD Learning System". This was not clear in the item description and my daughter was in tears when her birthday present wouldn't work. I felt really bad for her and feel mislead.
