About the Author

The Reys were born in Hamburg, Germany. Hans Augusto Rey (1898-1977) met his wife-to-be, Margret (1906-1996), at a party in her father’s home in Germany; when he first caught a glimpse of her, she was sliding down the banister. In their twenties and thirties they lived in Paris and in Rio de Janeiro, where Hans sold bathtubs in villages along the Amazon River. Eventually Cambridge, Massachusetts, became the Reys’ home and community.
Throughout their lives the Reys created many lively books together, including SPOTTY, PRETZEL, and lift-the-flap books such as HOW DO YOU GET THERE? The manuscript of 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. Their incorrigible little monkey has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy Pastiche, January 2, 2009

By	Andrew Wankum (Jefferson City, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Curious George at the Aquarium (Hardcover)

H.A. and Margret Rey did not write or illustrate this book. It is one of the 2007 "New Adventures" and should not to be confused with Curious George Goes to the Aquarium (1984).

It gets an extra star because my toddler likes the book.

However, I think it is poorly written and the text sometimes does not match what is pictured.

For example, when George is pictured climbing a tree next to a wall, the book says he jumped over a gate. In another scene, George swings out over a tank of water in the penguin exhibit. The text says it is a "beluga tank". Beluga whales made an appearence earlier in the story but are not present in the scene.

While these faults may be minor, they stand out in a short book. I also think it shows a carelesss by the publisher.

Great for read-a-loud. Curious George is one of my favorites. As a school teacher, I read this as well as other Curious George favorites to my class.

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