Its A Good Book

Like all Curious George books, George is in over his head when he causes a false alarm at the fire station. But he comes to the rescue and saves a curious puppy. He is awarded with an offical fire station hat.I think this is a good book for kids. It has fire truck and puppy's. Think back to when you were a little kid, if you didn't want to be a fireman your best friend did.

Good, but not the same

This book is " adapted from the Curious George film series". The illustrations are different from the original, and even from the "Illustrated in the style of H.A. REY" both of which I feel are much better.More of CG's adventures. My nearly 2-year old likes the book because of the puppies, fire engines, the pole etc, but he doesn't linger on the pages like the original books, looking at the details of the illustrations.It doesn't start with the normal, " This is George. George is a good little monkey...".I only remember the original books, didn't know about the tapes and film series, so I was disappointed. I would build my collection of CG without this book, until I had all the original and book first ( "Illustrated in the style of HA Rey") versions.

Excellent book to read to children

Curious George and the Man with the yellow hat visit the fire station. Just like a child, George tours the fire station and gets his hands on just about anything. As usual, George finds himself getting into a spot of trouble. All ends well as George saves the day. Our fire department uses this book in our kindergarten reading program where firefighters go to school and read to the children. Its a favorite of ours and the children.
