5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book- Must Have Feb 3 2005
By Cynthia B. Costa - Published on Amazon.com
This is a beautifully illustrated children's book, destined to be a classic. Every child should have a copy in their "library". Terrific for the classroom also. The story is also beautifully written.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Guy Does Good Pictures! (so said one of the kids) Mar 1 2005

and Mom agrees!

Mr. George and the Red hat is a beautiful book! The illustrations are delightful. You really can imagine yourself among the sun-dappled trees in the park. The scenery is touched with light and soft detail. The colors are rich and warm. You can see the texture of the canvas in the pictures.

The story is equally charming. Mr. George is the neighborhood squirrel. Maybe he lives in your park. One day he finds a red felt doll hat. He imagines which animal it belongs to, a chipmunk perhaps? He finally decides the hat is perfect for him and for helping him collect nuts. The other park animals admire Mr. George and his wonderful hat. In a generous act of kindness, he offers his hat to a young mother bird that needs a home for her babies. It's a perfect new home!

You will just have to wonder if the squirrel you see in the park is Mr. George the generous squirrel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book needed a better editor Dec 30 2005
By Molly Grue - Published on Amazon.com
Mr. George is a gray squirrel who lives in a beautiful park. When he finds an attractive doll hat made of bright red felt, Mr. George decides that he could use it to gather seeds and nuts. He is thrilled to discover that the hat fits him perfectly, and his animal friends agree that it enhances his appearance. After wearing the hat all spring, this kind and generous squirrel gives it to a tiny bird who needs a nest.

Unfortunately, this beautifully illustrated story lacked a competent editor. The text is marred by this grammatical error: "Then Mr. George thought, "Maybe it's a groundhog's hat." But no, what would a groundhog do with a hat? It wouldn't fit THEIR large round head and the groundhog would surely get it dirty going underground." (Emphasis mine.)

I hope this error is corrected in a subsequent printing!
