Customer Reviews

Firetrucks AND a monkey...perfect for a toddler...

My son loves the TV show Curious George, as well as the books, but this is by far his favorite, on account of his absolute obsession with fire trucks. There are many different pictures of fire trucks, unlike some other books where a fire truck might appear only on a single page--and there are also illustrations of part of the fire house (like the classic pole) and the uniform. Overall, I highly recommend this book for little ones who enjoy fire trucks, whether they currently are a Curious George fan or not.

Fun little book

My 3 year old loves both Curious George and Fire trucks, so this book was sure to be a hit with him. It's not exactly "classic-quality" reading, but still, it was a nice little story. It was neither overly wordy or simplistic--just the right level for him and not too boring for me to handle repeated readings. It has the classic George illustrations, rather than the tv version. Though my son is a fan of the show, he was just as happy with the classic illustrations (which I prefer). Great for bedtime or snuggletime!

Classic George!

I think we'll have to buy some more copies of this story, my son makes us read it at least 4 - 5 times a week to him. He loves firefighters (and George of course) so this is a perfect fit. I've noticed some of the newer stories "inspired" by Margaret and H.A. Rey -- this is one of their originals / classics. Timeless and precious are words that come to mind when thinking about the actual story. So many opportunities to learn / teach within the classic George stories -- I think because some of the pictures, things, stuff in the story are vintage and unfamiliar it encourages the child to inquire more. We're huge fans -- and if you watch the specials, sometimes they have 4 for price of 3 on [...] Of course, you should try to support your local bookstore whenever you can!
