We’re celebrating the 75th anniversary of Curious George with a very special prize pack for you.
After 75 years George is still just as curious as he was decades ago! You probably remember this mischievous little monkey from your own childhood. You spent days reading the books with your own mum, and maybe even cuddled up to the plush toy version of the character. Now your child is totally in love with George, and you’re getting to re-live your younger days.
Well, George is back — and the Emmy Award-winning TV series that chronicles this little cutie’s adventures is returning for an 8th season. The complete 8th season DVD pack features just about everything you’d expect (and maybe a few things you won’t!). It’s got an intergalactic trip to Mars, a visit to a toy factory and even a DIY guitar that George tried to build himself.
Whew! That curious monkey is sure having fun. Along with complete 8th season, George is still at it – having fun with friends. The Fun with Friends (as if you hadn’t already guessed that’s what it was called) pack features imaginative antics and all the sticky situations that George (and pals) can get into.
Okay, so George’s curiosity is always getting him into trouble (or at least putting him at the centre of hilariously funny scenes). But, what about your little monkey? As mums, we all know that there are those perfectly precious moments where our kiddos end up in super-silly situations. You giggle, you laugh and you take a mental picture to remember just how kind of crazy, but certainly sweet, your little one is.
You know your curious kid is hilarious, now show us! We’re looking for the best stories that feature how your child’s curiosity ended up in a silly situation. That’s right, we want to hear the ridiculous, hilarious and laugh-out-loud funny things that make you smile. Not only do you get to share your story, but you’ll be entered to win a prize pack that’s quite ‘Curious’!
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Curious George, we’ve got five prize packs featuring the childhood favourite.
- Curious George – The complete season 8
- Curious George – Fun With Friends
- Curious George – Garden Discoveries
- Curious George – The Movie
- Curious George Big Adventure Box Set

Have never been to the Adelaide Show but if it’s anything like the Brisbane one then it will be a cracker. Love the animals and showbags best.
We find the plot lines really interesting on Curious George.
By nature and by name, he is curious!
My son learns heaps from Curious George. Whenever I ask him where he knows something from he always says ‘Curious George’.
WE love Curious George. There are so many things to learn about and also having fun watching George find his way.
I love that my son isn’t old enough to know about the show yet as so expensive but when he is I look forward to taking him to the animal farm.
Our family loves George because he is just as inquisitive as our own 18 month old Curious Josh!
We love the night show, the motorcross backflips, the D-Max utes and the fireworks!
My 5 year old grandson loves to watch Curious George when he comes to visit me. We watch it together and love the antics George gets up to.
Curious George just loves the fireworks and all the things he can get into.
I love how he is curious just like my grandson and can also be mischievious.
I’ve never been to the Adelaide show but I love the Melbourne show and enjoy the experience of the rides, food, animals, competitions and entertainment!
I’ve never been. I live too far away and lack money
I love my little monkeys to watch Curious George because Monkey see, little Monkeys do!
I love how hilarious George is! Even for adults. I always have a giggle watching Curious George with my little man 🙂
I have never been to the Adelaide show but my cousins tell me it is a great day out for the whole family
I enjoy watching the different expressions on my 5yo face as he goes on the rides, sees the different stalls and exhibitions and tries some tasting of his own.
George has always been a family favourite with young and old he is a cute and the kids always learn something.
That it’s almost as good as the Melbourne Show!
Haven’t been but seen it on TV, love the whole mardigra like feel with it’s parade of floats and Christmas feel.
the endles entertainment and buckets of giant fairy floss

My kids love Curious George!
I’ve never been but I’d love to go one day
i have a Soft Toy of Curious George he sits in the prize of my Bedroom
The same thing I love about all shows – the competitions, particularly the woodchopping.
I have only been to the Perth Royal Show. The best thi
ng about it was, as an adult, we walked in and saw a dancing competition- these people were no dancers. We were in stitches!!
I love the man in the yellow hat. He is so patient, calm and unflappable- most of the time, which is unlike me! My son loves Curious George!
The rides and snacks! Could go all day munching and spinning!!!
Curious George is MY best friend
I have never been but am sure it is a wonderful day out.
The animals, ever since I was small and went with my uncle who showed pigs/cattle, I would love the camaraderie in the sheds, everyone was so friendly and mostly the animals were too!
seeing all the people having such an amazing time with all the things that are on offer
This Curious George pack we’d love to own,
This mischievous monkey is a favourite in our home.
Curious and cheeky that monkey may be,
More of his adventures we would love to see.
My daughter adores the man in the yellow hat,
But mistakes him for George’s “Dad with a hat”
Christmas monkey from the movie is a favourite song of hers,
And can sing along with nearly every verse.
She laughs and giggles along with the show,
So she would adore and appreciate this pack I know.
Thank you for the chance to win such a great prize,
Generous in both content and in size.
I love a dagwood dog, oh yum!
The rides, showbags, so much fun!
The kids and the yellow brick road
Collecting freebies, what a load 🙂
Seeing the smiles on all th young kids and seeing the families making precious memories c
the kids get to hold chickens and see all the farm animals with out me having to own them !
Any shows, it has to be the showbags that kids love. I also have fond memories of my showbags when I was little.
That my kids are excited to see the animals and walk around – for them it’s not just what they can get us to buy them.
Showbags everytime
My kids love Curious George. I love that they are learning to problem solve by watching George!
Curious George is cheeky, mischievous and so much fun to watch – he’s just like my kids!

I love George’s curiosity & sense of adventure. He gets in to all sorts of mischief! but it all turns out ok in the end 🙂
The food, tasting, trying, smelling gourmet goodies cooked in a pavilion, my foodie heaven!
Curious George and I are like soul mates, always getting into trouble without actually meaning to.
Showbagd
The Man With the Yellow Hat is amazing with George in every way.
He brought George from Africa and they have fun adventures every day!!
He looks after George a lot, is caring, patient and kind.
I love this character to bits, he is gentleman like and refined!!

No idea have never been.
I love the bond that George and the Man in the Yellow Hat have. It reminds me of my toddler and I. She’s very curious and always getting up to mischief just like George.
Curious George I love that George makes my 1 year old laugh and keeps him glued to the tv.
I adore the look on a child’s face at a show – seeing their face light up because of all the lights and colours and sounds.
I love how George is always getting into mischief, just like my little monkeys at home!
i love that he gets into trouble yet its always a funny situation.Very mischievous and makes my son laugh alot
the persistent joy of George and the ability to magically fix disasters
The best thing about the Royal Adelaide Show is the atmosphere. The smells, sounds, sights and excitement.
The best Family show in Australia!!!! And one day I will take our little Anna to it too – we are in Tassie, but Im sure she would love this adventure of a lifetime x
We love George’s sense of adventure which makes for so many fascinating stories!
I have no idea about the Royal Adelaide Show lol but we do love Curious George because of his innocent humour and adventures
Curious George shows kids to explore things in a fun way – exactly what their little minds are programmed to do!
I miss it all. I miss the ice cream dairy building and the taste testing, I miss the pigs and the old engines down the back and I miss the family fun time it brought to us. We have a town show here but it’s small and dodgy even if it is full of community spirit.
Watching my kids looking around at everything with awe. It’s a wonder to watch
I’m in Perth but I love going. And taking the kids they get so excited like a pack of monkeys
Love all the animals especially the baby animals my son just wanted to get in and play with all the animals
As an SA gal- love the showbag hall
I only went once but it was a blast… Animals are awesome.
everyone is so happy and excited the kids love the rides and the show bags
Two questions in this comp but i’m going for the Curios George one
My toddler went to my mum’s place
Put her head between palings down the stairs to pull a silly face
OMG Her head got stuck
shes crying and we’re trying to get her out with no luck
Grandad remained calm and gently turned her head down
Slipped back out without a frown
Little monkey scared us all
But now is the least cheeky of them all
I’ve never been to Royal Adelaide Show before. It would be great to see if my family & I can visit one day. Show bags, shows and rides are fun for my family.
I love how curious George encourages kids to explore their surroundings and use their imaginations. He also teaches problem solving skills
The adventures that Curious George embarks upon are loads of fun. Love the antics. Love monkeys.
I love how Curious George will never give up until he solves the problem. Great way to teach our kids to do the same!
The rides, miss 6 favorite is the dino roller coaster, mega slide and dodgem cars
Mine, speed 2, fury, xxxl
I love, that my kids love to watch Curious George and I get 5 minutes peace lol
I love that my daughter loves him so much. She said that she loves him because he’s silly and he’s a monkey and monkey’s are her favourite 🙂
My son and I love curious George,

I love that George can communicate such great story lines without actually talking! My kids love him because he makes them laugh – so we all love him for our own reasons, at our own levels. Great family mix!
My kids love Curious George because he makes them laugh and gets into mischief
Every time Courious George comes on tv my daughters can’t wait to watch it. Everyday they love it. George is very cheeky but teaches us not to give up and keep trying if you make a mistake keep going and that’s what I love about him.
I love how cute George is and how simple yet educational the stories are. My kids love to watch and read about Curious George.

My son loves George, he loves the funny things he gets up to, makes him laugh!
I love how forgiving his mentor (the man) is. No matter what mischief and mistakes George makes the man is always understanding
He’s a problem solver. He usually creates the problem then more while solving it. I think I love George more than my daughter does.
My 3&1/2 year old daughter loves curious George wondering what he will get up to next
The whole atmosphere of the show is exciting and I love watching all the happy kids and adults having fun together and just enjoying themselves
The episodes are so fun I watch them on nick Jnr with my girl everyday
My daughter loves Curious George and his mischievous adventures. It’s entertaining and inspiring!
I remember watching curious george as a child and love that he’s still around getting into mischief for my kids to watch as well.

My two year old tells me he’s “curious, like Curious George” 🙂
Miss Two loves his cheeky and curious ways
My boys both love Curious George as he is always looking for new ways to learn and he never gives up when things get tough!
My two love the adventures of this cheeky but thoughtful little monkey. Maybe because he’s a lot like them! 🙂
He is brave, sensitive, and a great friend! 🙂
My son has mild autism with speech delay/dyspraxia and he loves watching shows where characters have friends that have trouble speaking, Curious George is one of them
What I love about Curious George is the fact that he makes kids laugh and almost takes the kids/viewers along with him on his adventures.
i love how much my son loves him! he learnt the word monkey from this show! he loves his adventures with George and i love joining him 🙂
I love his antics the most and he relates to children as he is very curious and so are they.
He’s funny, adventurous, cute, brave and smart! I love watching him!
Funny, cheeky little monkey. Was a favourite of mine as a child and now I have a chance to share all those wonderful childhood memories with my own grandchildren.
He makes my son and I laugh with his funny antics. He also teaches my son to think creatively to find unique solutions to his problems.
My boys love George’s curious adventures and the fun he has helping friends. I love that the show uses real words to describe situations and processes that they encounter. I also love that the Man in the Yellow Hat has as much to learn as George – very much like life in our house 😉
We love curious George cause he is smart yet funny and is great at making things.
My kids love George, my youngest watches him nearly every day,
That he’s been around for a while..
I just love that curious George makes me happy. Just hearing the song can pull me right out of a terrible mood. And yellow is my favourite colour
I love the fact that my grandchildren will sit quietly for a while watching Curious George while I have a rest after playing with them all day.
He represents the curious minds of our kids
I love that he teaches kids to think and ask questions. So hopefully children will grow up to be curious…to challenge the norm and not follow for the sake of following. Good On You Curious George!
he’s a cheeky monkey just like my youngest, who loves him to bits
My kids have always love curious George and all the mischief he gets into. I love how it gets them to think how to solve the problems George has.
Curious George was enjoyed by my kids and now loved by my grand kids. We all learn something every episode from George and the man in the yellow hat who is very patient with Curious mischievous George

He is just like my 2 monkeys, Xander & Joshua.
Sweet, innocent and mischievous. What is not to love?
Mischievous, funny & friendly. Cute little fella.
Curious George reminds me of my curious Hunter, always wondering about things, getting into trouble with his sticky beaking, and always on the go!
I actually love the man in the yellow hat. No matter what mischief, mess or chaos this cute little monkey makes, the man in the yellow hat always remains calm and gentle and helps George fix mistakes. That’s beautiful patenting of even the most difficult child.
I love all the adventures Curious George goes on!
I love that George is always thinking his way out and never gives up.
Love how The Man in the Yellow Hat makes everything better when something goes really wrong. He really is a parent!

and always getting into mischief,
but he’s cute so it’s okay.

I love Cheeky. I have 4 Cheekies who all love and have loved Curious George. He’s the Cheeky Master!
Just like children; George is curious (funny that!) and just wants to learn and be helpful along the way. It’s a shame that adults lose that zest and exploratory instinct.
