Our boys are huge fans of Curious George and all of his crazy antics. They were thrilled to find out that we would be reviewing the upcoming release of Curious George Swings Into Spring. I was excited because I love the lessons that are taught to children through the Curious George series.

No matter what he is doing at the time, he will jump up and start swaying back and forth to the melody. The entire family enjoys watching him go when we get together for the holidays!
