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.

this book is a huge hit with me nearly 3 year old son at bedtime. the story is very cute, shows curious george going through his bedtime routine. most toddlers will relate to the steps he takes before heading off to bed and delight in familiar scenes to the episodes of the first season of curious george animated series on PBS. each page is a tab and every page ends with "are you sleepy yet?" My son always answers no, until he gets to the final page where curious george is sleeping and then he says shhh along with me, as curious george is sleeping. very sweet.

My 18 month old son loves this book - he brings it to me to read to him even in the middle of the day. He points at the familiar objects on the pages (like George, toothbrush, blocks) and wants to look at it over and over again. I don't mind because it's also one of my favorite children's books. This is a keeper!

It's a board book, and another in the too-long line on non-Rey "Curious George" titles, but this one is near-perfect bedtime reading.

Loaded with cute illustrations (done not in the classic Rey style but that of the animated PBS Kids series), it should help any child develop a bedtime routine and get to sleep with a smile.
