Description
After creating a mess at the local fire station while taking a tour, George is swept along with the firefighters to the scene of a fire. Although he isn't able to help put out the fire, George brings his own set of special monkey talents to the situation and proves that maybe a fire dog shouldn't be the only animal allowed to come along for the ride. The new English/Spanish edition includes highly readable text and bilingual bonus activities. In the Spanish version, Jorge tags along with firefighters to a fire scene after causing chaos during his visit to the fire station. Despite being unable to assist in extinguishing the fire, Jorge demonstrates his unique monkey abilities, showing that trained dogs are not the only animals that can aid firefighters. This edition includes easy-to-read text and entertaining audio recordings.
