Curious George has his first experience with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in this slim picture book. In it, George helps his friend Kareem through his first fast by playing games to distract the boy from his hunger. Once the sun goes down, "The room is filled with happiness / And the peaceful sounds of prayer," followed by an abundance of food to fill the stomachs of Kareem's family and friends. Another day, George accompanies Kareem to the mosque to help with donation drives. The book ends with the Eid festival and characters enjoying "hours of feasting and fun" as Ramadan draws to a close. Few facts about Ramadan appear in this book (its connection with the Muslim religion is never even mentioned), but young readers will get a sense of some of the activities that accompany its observance, such as fasting and charity work. Pair with a more informational book, such as Lisa Bullard's Rashad's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr (2012), for a more rounded look at the holiday.
