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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
4 ½ Georgie Dans Le Forest,
This review is from: Curious George Goes Camping (Paperback)
When the now iconic Man in the Big Yellow Hat warns Curious George,"now don't wander off and get into trouble," we know exactly what's about to happen instead (especially since he had already rushed off). Despite his good intentions, George adventures turn into misadventures: Dousing someone's campfire, getting lost with a galloping deer, and being sprayed by a skunk that George thought was a cat. As usual in these series (story by Margret Rey, with illustrations by a team in the style of the late H.A. Rey), George's curiosity also leads to some monkey heroics. He also learns how to get rid of skunk smell (a vat of tomato juice).Given its forest setting, this is a somewhat quieter `George book,' but there are soft forest and animal drawings and enough action for the small ones. Curious George is now "a registered trademark of the Houghton Mifflin," but the company encourages young readers to look for the `original adventures about Curious George' by the Reys. 24 pages, with pencil and watercolor illustrations on each one.

This review is from: Curious George Goes Camping (Kindle Edition)
I was very disappointed in this Kindle version of the book for my iPad. I thought I was purchasing a color illustrated book. The cover is brightly colored. Sadly the inside of the book is black and white. It would be nice if you had a look inside feature to children books so you could see what you were buying.

This review is from: Curious George Goes Camping (Kindle Edition)
I wish I had checked out the reviews prior to purchase. This book is not in color. I am a loyal Amazon customer, but I feel duped. If you show a brightly colored cover, the download show be the same. This has never happened to me with an iBook purchase.
