 "Didn't hold my son's interest" | 2008-04-08 |

| My son LOVES Curious George, but this doll just didn't hold his interest. He liked it, but got bored fairly easily. I thought it was funny and it cracked me up! |

 "Secondhand report on a fun character" | 2007-11-06 |

I purchased this for my niece, who turned one year old on Oct. 7. Since she's in Seattle and I'm in Philadelphia, I can't give you a first-hand observer's report on the worth of this toy, but I can say this:
When my brother called me to thank me on Estella Rose's behalf for the present, he also reported to me that she carried it everywhere and hadn't let it go for two days.
Of course, Estella Rose won't remember actually getting this Curious George doll years down the road, but I predict it will be a treasured part of her childhood. Curious George is both cute and fun, and this doll provides stimulation for little tykes (it's rated 3 years and up, but it looks to me like it's safe for any child beyond the first months of infancy).

 "Disappointing; Tickle but no wiggle" | 2007-09-07 |

| I bought this toy for my five year old daughter's birthday because she's on a bog C.G. kick. The toy itself is cute and and soft, and mildly cuddly. However, the package states the C.G. "giggles and wiggles...". After replacing the defunct batteries that "were included", I did eventually make George giggle, but could not make him wiggle short of shaking him myself. I was tempted to keep him anyway because he did giggle and laugh, but not by tickling his underarms and feet, etc; to produce C.G.'s laughter, you have to locate and compress the trigger points in each "tickle spot"... a bit like a massage therapist would do, but only you have to do it with so much force you'd think you were trying to HURT C.G rather than give him a little tickle. It should be re-marketed as pressure point George. It's no wonder he was on clearance. |

| My 3 year old daughter is obsessed with Curious George. She loved this cuddly toy even when we thought it was broken! She doesn't care that he laughs or shakes, she just loves to cuddle him! We went to the bear-building store and even though she made a bear, she put George on "bath" thing and washed him up too :) |

| This George is cute and fun to play with. Couldn't ask for a better present. The laugh is a bit cynical, however. |

| Okay the bottom line is that this doll is so cute! The issues are that the tickling isn't exactly tickling. You press the buttons in his feets and sides and he giggles. My 6 month old absolutely loves his, "Monkey the George". It really is cute, but he can't make him giggle on his own, but he loves to bite his mouth, ears and little hair. |

| My four year old requested this item for Christmas, which I had never heard of until then. The doll itself is cute enough, but the vocals are, well, strange. Much deeper than you'd expect from George and therefore very unpleasant. Kind of creepy, actually. This would have been perfect without the voicebox, which I guess was the motivation for my four year old, who snipped the battery pack out of George with scissors. |

| My 4 year old son got this for Christmas and he loves it. So do I. He takes him to bed with him every night and I just laugh to myself as I hear George's and my son's giggling coming from his room. As some others reviewers have stated, it may be difficult for little hands to make George laugh, however, we haven't had any problems. The the magic tickle spot makes me laugh out loud every time. My son has never been one to like stuffed animals much, but he just loves his "monkey George"! |

| WARNING!!!! I purchased this toy for my child and the button on his back side came off very easily and my 1 year old was ready to put it in his mouth. I have contacted Marvel and told about the problem. The toy is very cute but I warn parents of purchasing this for a young child. My 4 year old still puts stuff in his mouth. This button is just the right size for a baby or young child to choke on. |

| I recently purchased and received a Curious George Tickle `N Giggle from Amazon,its a very cute plush toy and has a silly/funny laugh when you tickle him in certain spots....only problem is that its sometimes kind of hard to tickle him. When I tested him out I thought he was broken! I had to really dig in when I tickled him(almost like a hard rub as apposed to a tickle) but he was still worth the price. My suggestion is that unless you really like/love Curious George or monkeys you shouldn't buy him, go with a tickle me Elmo. |
