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.

My wife and I both loved Curious George as children, and bought this book to read to our 5 month old daughter. She enjoyed hearing the collection of short poems as much as her mother and I enjoyed reading them to her. She giggles and kicks her feet everytime we read it to her. We loved it so much, we bought the Christmas book today and will be buying the Good Night book shortly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Introduction to Halloween for 1-3 year olds, October 23, 2009

We bought this book last week, as a way to introduce my 13 month old daughter to halloween. My husband and I spent a long time looking over all the Halloween books at a major chain book store, and finally settled on this one. I'm so glad we did! It gently sets up understanding for all the aspects of Halloween and has cute illustrations. We read the book twice before going to pick out our pumpkin, and my daughter recognized real life pumpkins right away, and got very excited! She doesn't yet know Curious George but loves the monkey pictures all over the book, and I swear she's grasping the concept of the monkey dressing up like a cat, monster, etc. All the other other books we looked at didn't quite have all the dimensions of Halloween, and this fit the bill in a cute and gentle way. Pumpkins, costumes, decorations, Trick-or-Treating, parties, bobbing for apples, family and friends, it's all there. Can't go wrong. I'd recommend this book for 1-3 year old Halloween introductions. She loves to flip through it on her own, too, a good plus :)

I like this book! My son loves George and I was looking for some books to introduce him to the "lighter" side of Halloween. This book does the trick. The illustrations have just the feeling I was looking for -- pumpkins, autumn leaves, kids in costumes, but nothing creepy. The book is made up of several different "poems" and they each have their own meter and rhyme, which makes it a little awkward to read at first, but once you have gone through it a couple times you have it down and it flows more naturally.
