Product Description
Curious about the big truck next door, George takes a closer look. He wants to see how it works. Before long he finds that one little lever can mean big trouble! But George quickly puts his monkey ingenuity to work and finds a surprising solution to his messy mishap.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A family favorite, July 4, 2000
By Julie (Piscataway, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
My 3 year old loves Curious George books and all kinds of heavy equipment so combining the two means it's one of his favorite books, and just like George he is always curious especially about George and why he is doing what he is doing. In our house both my 3 year old and 17 month old would sooner read about Curious George than watch tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, September 1, 2008
Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.
