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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old son loves this book!, May 15, 2006

This review is from: Curious George the Movie: Meet Curious George: A Picture Reader (Curious George the Movie a Picture Reader) (Paperback)

I bought this through a school book club and there were no reviews then, but purchased it anyway and am glad I did! My almost 6-year-old son *loves* this book. He reads it to me every night at bedtime. The sentences are short and easy, with only a few long words (i.e., "amazing" and "adventure"), and the pictures are gorgeous -- right from the movie. As a picture reader, this book has icons for Curious George, the yellow hat, etc (about 16 total). My son even enjoys reading through the list of icons at the beginning of the book, and was tickled to see that those words are in alphabetical order. We have only had it a few weeks and it's dog eared already because he reads it so often! We recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed the Curious George movie.

Little ones will love remembering the movie while helping
read the story. The pictures are wonderful and the
story is condensed (don't think they won't notice).
