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.

Being a "book family" and spending hours searching book stores and TEST-READING so many titles before purchasing, we stumbled upon this class H.A. Rey book and it's a "REAL WINNER". Our 3 yr old grandson Derek wants it read to him every night and I being an old zoo keeper and teacher enjoy it just as much as he does. Bah humbug to those who say it is repetitious - in repetition lies the foundation for early reading ....and as far as the scientific end of it - those zoo meals are just about on target except for too many bananas - must have been George's influence on the author. RUN OUT AND GET THIS "classic" FLAP BOOK F-A-S-T !
You won't be disappointed and your early reader will adore it.

I have 3 children, ages 19, 10, and 4. When my oldest was 5 or so, I stumbled across these books. This is one title in a series of 5 books that ALL my children enjoyed in their childhoods. My 4 yr. old still picks these books for bedtime most every week.

The artwork is wonderful...H. A. Rey had a wonderfully colorful and innocent style of art that is perfect for children. I as a parent like his art too. It is just really sweet.

I can only say these are great little books; everyone who sees them likes them and they make nice gifts, and are inexpensive too. Our first set finally wore out and we recently bought new ones. I am glad to see that the paper is much stronger (thicker and laminated)--these are very durable books.

These WILL be loved by your children!

This is a book by H. A. Rey, the author of the Curious George series. It is a fun story for preschoolers about life at the zoo. The rhyming, Lift-the-Flap format makes for extra involvement and entertainment. Children enjoy guessing which animals are behind each flap. The illustrations are very similar to the Curious George books.

When my children were very small, sometimes Curious George was too long. This series (there are five books in Mr. Rey's Lift-the-Flap series) is a nice prelude to Curious George.
