Another in the graduation/inspiration picture book canon. The text seems somewhat forced in order to match the available selection of Curious George illustrations. Sometimes it works (see "Whatever you do, you will find your own style"), sometimes it doesn't ("The feats you imagine you'll just have to try...and imagination can lead to invention.").

This book does not really have a story but it is more explaining growing up and moving on. This book tells children that it is okay to be scared or mess up but to keep trying and they can accomplish anything! The message in this book is so inspiring which is the main reason I think it is a great book. There are not many words in this book so the child, depending on the age, may be able to read along with help just on the big words (such as imagination).
I think this book is a great book especially to children when they are moving into a new phase in their lives. It has great illustrations that show the different aspects of growing up that match perfectly with the words.

This book is adorable. I love how this book has the characters from Curious George. This makes the illustrations more relateable to children because they know who the characters are and grew up watching them. The language in this book is also very cute. It has such an inspiring message of what happens when you graduate; and how much you can make a difference in the world with how you are. I would recommend this to be read at an elementary school graduation or to be given as a present.
Curious You: On Your Way! is a perfect sendoff for children of all ages entering a new phase of their lives. Follow along with George in classic scenes from many of his original books as he provides words of congratulations and encouragement to anyone who has accomplished much but still has many things to see, to do, and to dream!
The ideal gift book for a graduation, a promotion, or any occasion.
This inspirational story reminds readers young and old who are moving up or moving on that they have a special someone cheering for them as far as their curiosity can take them! -- Scholastic, Inc.

Author Information
Hans Augusto Rey was born on September 16, 1898 in Hamburg, Germany. He escaped to Paris with his wife after the Nazi's invaded. While in Paris, Hans's animal drawings came to the attention of French publisher, who commissioned him to write a children's book. The result, Rafi and the Nine Monkeys, is little remembered today, but one of its show more characters, an adorably impish monkey named Curious George, was such a success that the couple considered writing a book just about him. Their work was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II. As Jews, the Reys decided to flee Paris before the Nazis seized the city. Hans built two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell. Among the meager possessions they brought with them was the illustrated manuscript of Curious George. The books were published by Houghton Mifflin in 1941. Curious George was an instant success, and the Reys were commissioned to write more adventures of the mischievous monkey and his friend, the Man in the Yellow Hat. They wrote seven stories in all. Their title Happy Halloween made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2013. At first, Margret's name was left off the cover because there was a glut of women already writing children's fiction. In later editions, this was corrected, and Margret now receives full credit for her role in developing the stories. H. A. Rey died in 1977 and in 1989 Margaret Rey established the Curious George Foundation to help creative children and prevent cruelty to animals. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
