One thing that makes this DVD different from the television series is the viewers are treated to music. If you are not yet in the mood for Christmas, you will be after watching this movie about how George and the Man With The Yellow Hat work so hard to find the perfect gift for each other.
Please take a minute to view the musical trailer below:
This DVD is now available in stores and should definitely be on your list of considerations for holiday gifts for your Curious George fan. My family really enjoyed seeing what new antics George had come up with, such as knocking down all the Christmas trees while attempting to select the perfect one to take home. This movie also shows your child how to see the world in shapes. Keep that in mind as you attempt to figure out the puzzling wishlist George has given the Man With The Yellow Hat.
