My 3 year old loves Curious George books and all kinds of heavy equipment so combining the two means it's one of his favorite books, and just like George he is always curious especially about George and why he is doing what he is doing. In our house both my 3 year old and 17 month old would sooner read about Curious George than watch tv.

The George books are all awesome! Our 4 year-old son has liked every one, and we've liked them. They're pretty quick and easy reading, takes 3-5 minutes to complete, depending on how long he want's to look at each page after you're done reading them. But they are good, cute stories, just like the shows, he laughs out loud and comments quite a bit as we're reading. If you watch the show and haven't read any of the books before, they are very similar in style and look to each other, as close as a kids book to a kids show can be. No one book has been any better or worse than any of the others, they're all very good. We will probably end up buying them all.

The story is great and my kids love it. However the page breaks are awkward and the pictures don't match the text on the pages. Some of the pictures are very small and smashed to the top of the page. I wish I had been able to see how it was laid out on the kindle before I bought it.

The story itself is fine, albeit a little ADD in the usual Curious George manner. The main issue is again the Kindle format of this book. It's simply horrible to read to a child as the flow of words/pictures don't appear together on the same page, and make it impossible to read to your child from the Kindle.

I was very excited to see children books for the Kindle as it would allow me to bring a few books on the Kindle instead of lugging around physical books. Apparently, I'll still be lugging around the physical books.

Book was in better condition than advertised and came quickly. Very pleased with service.

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.

My 2-year-old grandson loves this so much that I got hoarse reading it to him over and over again last weekend. He loves dump trucks and can remember every part of the story. It's a believable book.

I love all the curious George books. Who Doesn't?

After reading the original 5 or 6 Curious George stories to my 2 year old son about a hundred times, it is refreshing to see some new adventures. We just picked up this book today after going to the dump and my son just loves it. The spirit of the original stories is still there while the artwork is slightly more crisp and detailed. I look forward to reading the other new stories!

My kids wrecked a book of this same title at our local library and I asked if I could replace the book rather than pay the library. I knew I could find it for less on Amazon. This book was hardcover and in brand new condition.
