Spotty (Curious George)

This book is simply beautiful. It is one that I have treasured. The story teaches not only that we should appreciate each other’s differences but also our words can hurt. I still cry every single time I read it to my grandchildren and nieces. It truly touches the heart. My granddaughter became much more aware of how to be a better person and friend.

“Spotty” was my favorite book as a child. It provides a very important message. I now give it to any friends and relatives with young children. I’m thrilled it’s still in print.

I loved the book as a child and still have my original copy.

Same author illustration as curious George. We were excited about it but the message in the story wasn’t good

I loved this book in the 50's and my grandchildren love it today. I think it's the best children's book ever written and most likely the only one with discrimination as the message! A truly amazing and wonderful book. Especially great for kindergarten and first grade teachers to read and act out with their children. I was all set to have my original version rebound when I saw it's still in print today. I was very happy!!

This was my favorite book when I was a child, and I checked it out every time we went to the library. I now have my own copy that my Mother gave to me as a special gift, and I bought copies for my two nephews and the little girl I nanny. Every child deserves to have this book, with its gentle, wonderful message, and beautiful illustrations. Highly recommend!

Love this book, easy to read and such a great story line for toddlers and older kids to follow. Great Easter gift! The photos were great in the book and the dialogue was easy to follow. Highly recommend for a Easter gift.

In the late 40's a bookmobile came to our rural area so we could check out books and I chose this one over and over. However, every time the book was read to me I cried all the way through. I grew up thinking that the two families had traded bunnies so everyone would be with those like themselves. As young as I was, I was never satisfied with that ending. I was still sad because the spotted bunny had been treated so badly in the first place. Some years ago, I discovered a website where one could describe a children's book and find out the title. Only when I ordered a copy and re-read it did I find out that the ending was different than I had remembered. But I don't thing actual ending is much better than my incorrect memory. I still find the concept (a bunny left behind so his physical appearance won't offend a grandparent) very disturbing--regardless of the supposed happy ending. I have never read the book to my grandchildren.

Always excellent. I read it as a four-year-old and have continued to promote its message of tolerance and acceptance ever since. This copy was for my two-year-old great niece.

Lovely story about being different - but still being loved and valued for who you are - brilliant. Buy it now - read it to your children!

図書館でこの本に出会って、買ってしまいました。子供にぜひ読ませたい本です。いじめとか人権問題を教えるのにもぴったりの本だと思います。すごくお勧めです。日本語版もありますよ！！
