Is there anything cuter than Curious George? I don't think so. I mean, if I were the Man in the Yellow Hat, I would have been locked up in a padded room a LONG time ago, but George is always so... earnest. And contrite. But seriously, why is he ever left alone? The Man with the Yellow Hat is in need of a really excellent Mother's Helper.
I still have some of my Curious George books from when I was a kid... I have a funny story about that tomorrow... but the point is, George is timeless. Not many of the kids' books we have today are, but I'll be saving these for my grandchildren.
Did you know that on Wednesday morning, a brand-new, never before seen (unless you've been at my house....) Curious George MOVIE will premier on PBS? Where I live, it will be on at 7:30am on Maryland Public Television. You can check your local listings here. So get that coffee brewing, plop your kids in front of A Very Monkey Christmas and start working on your pies. Or, if you are like me, bring your laptop into the family room and check your email (while you are laughing with your kids) because your husband bakes the Thanksgiving pies.
And, as my (and PBS's) gift to you, I have a DVD of A Very Monkey Christmas to give away to one lucky reader. (And a $2 coupon to buy the video for a runner up. It will be available at Target, Amazon and the usual places during the Christmas season.) Just think, if you are driving to visit relatives for Christmas, this will keep your kids quiet for 58 WHOLE MINUTES!
No complicated rules or tweeting required. Just leave me a comment, tell me your favorite Thanksgiving dish and make sure I can get in touch with you.
I'll pick the winner on Wednesday at noon! (My favorite is sweet potatoes. Hands down.)
Sounds CUTE!! My fav. thing at Thanksgiving is the cornbread dressing... YUM.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! My favorite dish is hashbrown casserole!
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMO
Huge George fans here!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite T'giving dish(casting my mind back a month to when we celebrated here!!)has to be stuffing you can have the bird - I just want my has-not-been-in-contact-with-turkey vegetarian stuffing and what I like even more than that at T'giving is if someone else does the dishes afterwards!!
oh yeah that was me Ann
ReplyDeleteWe watch Curious George every morning on PBS. Every. Morning.
ReplyDeleteMy fave thanksgiving food is turkey. Hands down.
I'm not actually entering your contest, but I agree with your assessment of the man in the yellow hat. He needs a good visit from Child (Monkey) Protective Services.
ReplyDeleteAnd, hey! My husband bakes the pies too! We might just be the same person.
Oh, my two year old (who apparently has never heard the AAP guidelines about no tv for kids under 2...) LOVES 'George the monkey!' We'd love to own the DVD, and I have a feeling we'll be up on Weds morning in time to watch it, too. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the fave food at Thanksgiving... it says a lot about my horrible diet habits when I say that it's a tie between pumpkin pie and egg nog. Nah, no tie- you just eat them together!
ooh - that would be a great stocking stuffer! Thx for the contest. Oh, it's pecan pie. yes, we have pumpkin pie too but it is the extra pecan pie that i drool over.

My kids are completely addicted to Curious George...our four-year-old checked out a book from the library that we already own!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite dish would have to be really creamy, made-from-scratch mashed potatoes and gravy. We usually have instant...not nearly as good.
You're right, he does need a mother's helper! My favorite is Candied Yams, with marshmallows on top.

You know, I never liked the books, but I love the show!!!! It's ADORABLE. I'm going to go and set the recorder right now!
ReplyDeleteOh, and stuffing! With gravy!! YUM!
I would say butternut squash or this awesome turnip casserole that my Dad makes.
ReplyDeleteoh we love curious george!
ReplyDeletemy favorite thanksgiving dish is corn casserole. although this may gross some people out (my husband) honestly, my favorite dish is when i make a plate of everything i want, and mix it all together!
Love George! I can't choose just one dish!!!! The dressing, the sweet potato casserole, and the pecan pie. Can't wait for Thursday! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI love Curious George... err.. I mean my son loves him....
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dish is the hash brown casserole!!
I'd love to win! And I couldn't possibly decide my fave dish. It's a tie between sweet potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Thanksgiving dish is a toss up between sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce... I know, I'm strange. :) LOL!
