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.

The series of Curios George books is the favorite children's books series in our family, and this book is no exception to the rule. This story of the unusual pizza delivery is just great! Perfect bed reading! Another children's series that my eldest daughter recently fell in love with is Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 1

This review is from: Curious George and the Pizza (Hardcover)

This book was the first Curious George book I bought for my sons (aged 4 & 2)and they really enjoyed it. They liked the fact that George does lots of exploring and gets into trouble. I like the book because it shows them how to turn something negative into something positive. I would recommend this book to anyone with young children. Curious George is a classic and fun character!

My son loves this book. It's a perfect length for a three year old - is long enough to tell a story but each page is short enough to keep his attention. Great book, is funny, my kid loves it. I plan to buy more like it.
