Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
As George and friends decorate for Valentine's Day, foldout flaps reveal the upshots of George's curiosity. George tests to see how big his heart-shaped balloon can get (under the flap, the balloon explodes, "pop!"), juggles three tubes of cookie icing, and experiments with a big box of decorations. Fans should appreciate Young's illustrations, in classic Rey style, which are tweaked with red foil accents and interactive features. Ages 3-7. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Review by Horn Book Review
Written by N. Di Angelo. On Valentine's Day, Curious George and the man with the yellow hat invite neighborhood children over for a party. Lift-the-flaps on right-hand pages allow for ho-hum surprises; for example, George blows up a balloon, lift the flap, "Pop!" While the illustrations are moderately faithful to the Reys' originals, the overall effect is bland. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
