It’s Ramadan, Curious George

Great representation and a cute story. My son loved it. Came in time for Eid!

This is such a simple book to read to preschoolers about Ramadan! It is easily understood by kids who celebrate Ramadan and those who do not. I have read it several times in my preschool classroom and the kids always enjoy it and learn a lot. It opens up discussion of some traditions associated with Ramadan.

My daughter LOVES this book! We read it multiple times every week! It’s so cute and hits all the major traditions of Ramadan without getting into heavy philosophy. So happy to have an English-centered book respecting Islam. We are American and it has been difficult to find kids books that are written in plain English, with an American-style culture that respects and explains parts of Islam in an everyday sort of way- just like you find millions of books explaining other religious holidays. I grew up reading Curious George and have fond memories. I’m glad my daughter and other kids still have these stories to enjoy! The hope is we can share this book with schoolmates for show and tell, or at least when Ramadan comes again (because it moves eleven days earlier each year) so she can participate in sharing part of her lifestyle with others (she goes to a secular school). Overall, exactly what you would expect from a Curious George story!

Lovely book for my toddler. I like how on theme it was, my son always reached for it at bedtime throughout Ramadan and afterwards.

A joyful look at Ramadan from George's perspective.

I bought this book as a Ramadan gift for all my nephews and nieces. The parents immediately fell in love with the book. It reminded them of their childhood characters (Curious George) and were amazed to see that they had a Ramadan book. They enjoyed reading the book to the kids during Ramadan and talking about it among the children and adults. It was great to see how much the adult also enjoyed the book.

I got this book as a gift for a child who celebrated their first Eid and first Ramadan. It’s a short read cute and does a great job covering what Ramadan and Eid are all about. It’s perfect for young ones who would like to learn about their own background but also for those who would like to learn about important holidays different from their own.

It’s so nice these curious George has Ramadan with Muslims in this book. My toddler loves Curious George so much.

We aren't Muslim, but what with all the Curious George, Madeline, Clifford's Christmases and Halloweens on our bookshelf (not to mention the abundance of white boys and girls), we simply felt the need to introduce Eid and Ramadan to our family. Other kids at school also celebrate different holidays, so it's useful to start conversations with the offspring. I was a little surprised to find half way through the words were a sing-song rhyme, like some classics; this isn't necessary (most classic Georges don't rhyme), and I found it a bit distracting, but not too contrived.

Originally bought this for my son last Ramadan. He loves it, insists we read it at least once a week since. I've bought another as a gift for my nephew this Ramadan. The book is well written and an easy read. The illustrations are relatable. I can see it being a firm favourite in my house for a while. My son is now almost 3 and my nephew is almost 4.

This book surprised me, because i didnt expect a book like this so near to the sunnah. Breaking fast with dates and milk, mummy with hijab and father with beard, "the peaceful sound of prayer" ist mentioned. The book has a great quality and is filled with beautiful pictures and colors. George the little monkey accompanys the little boy kareem through his first ramadan. Full of joy and positive motivation! Ein super Buch um Kleinkindern nach Quran und Sunnah den Ramadan näher zu bringen. Es hat mich sehr überrascht, dass es so nah an der Sunnah ist: Das Fasten wird mit Datteln und Milch gebrochen, die Mama trägt Hijab, der Vater trägt Bart und der "friedvolle Klang des Gebetes" ist an einer Stelle erwähnt. Ein sehr schönes Design und schöne Bilder und Farben! Der neugierige Affe George begleitet den kleinen Jungen während seines ersten Ramadan. Voller Freude und positiver Motivation. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Such a beautiful book for orienting little ones on Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr!

good introduction for kids in ramadan. hope they will translate in italian one day. in sha Allah.
