One of My Favorite Books When I Was A Child!, July 8 2004

When I was a child in the 1970's I loved The Curious George books by H.A.

I checked this book out all the time from the public library and from the bookmobile that used to come to my school and I was very happy when I was finaly given my own copy to keep and I very highly recommend this cute book and all the rest of the books in The Curious George series!

This is just an update to my old review from January 17, 2004 in which I said I wanted The Munsters to get on DVD in complete season boxsets, well there is good news for Munster fans because The complete first season is coming out on DVD on August 24, 2004 and from what I have read there are 38 episodes and the pilot which never aired on TV. I'm looking forward to August 24th and can't wait til the Munsters DVD set is finally released!
