This time George is in serious trouble. When he rings the bell on the fire engine, the firemen think there's a real fire. It seems that a fire station is no place for a curious monkey -- unless that monkey is George, who can do what none of the firemen can to make a quick rescue.

About the Author
Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but not the same,
By Eric D (Goeteborg, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curious George at the Fire Station (Paperback)
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,
By A Customer
This review is from: Curious George at the Fire Station Book & Cassette (Audio Cassette)
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.
3.0 out of 5 stars
