We love this book and read it often. We've had it several years now. Note this is a board book, which is much more durable for younger children. A great way to introduce Curious George to tots! I've read it multiple times and do not get tired of it. Curious George sees a guy going fishing, and it looks so interesting that he wants to also. He makes his own fishing pole and gets a little creative with the bait too! Very happy with the quality of the book, and very pleased with the story itself! The pictures were wonderful and the text was just the right amount and worded nicely for young children.
This is a very dumb book. Curious George goes fishing, only to find out fishing is not fun and goes to fly a kite instead. I bought this for my grand child to get them interested in fishing. The book failed on the account!
While the book isn't wholly without merit, it probably is the Worst FISHING Book Ever.It isn't really about fishing at all; and ultimately, it is about quitting.In the end, George repurposes the fishing line as a kite string. Groan.
Ordered this for our youngest grandson's first birthday. We know he will love it. Good sturdy book. Classic story is shortened version for little ones, which is good, as sometimes George isn't the best role model.
I purchased this little book as a companion gift to the Paz - Ready Set Learn fishing kit. I was surprised that it has a cardboard cover and pages. It's a very durable little book w/great illustrations. Our 3 yr old neighbor is thrilled w/it!
DO NOT buy this book if you want to share the love of fishing with your children or grandchildren. What a downer - does not teach a positive experience. Tells kids that fish "could get you" if you fall in the water and that it's better to fly a kite than go fishing. BALONEY!!! So disappointed.
Seems like there are love /hate reviews in amzn history on this book.So far George gone fishing and the George and the bunny board books are fan favorites. We have some paperback ones too but they are long and no color.My 3.5 year old loves this book and has memorized the story after having had it for only a few weeks and now reads it to us... He doesn't yet do this with any other book. He is a George fan so that helps.We the parents recognize the stories were written in a different era and add in our own safety tips and even ask our little guy to suggest safety ideas like wearing a life jacket on the dock and never go out without an adult like mommy or daddy. We have done our own ad-lib in other George books and seems to work fine. For few bucks we paid, we have beyond gotten our money's worth.
Cute little book, but my 20 month old isn't really interested. Can't really fault the book for that, but I think it's just not interesting to him right now. The story is a bit strange, and I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.
