Description

|
|
|
Written by Margret Rey and other authors, and illustrated in the style of H.A. Rey by various artists, the eight Curious George adventures in this lap-sized treasury are ideal for reading aloud to youngsters up to 6. The innocently mischievous monkey helps some firefighters, saves a baby penguin at the aquarium, uncovers a fossilized dinosaur, makes a mess at school, discovers a new way to make pizza, finds a lost boy at a ball game, interrupts a parade, and plants a tree. From his first appearance in the 1939 book Cecily G. and the 9 Monkeys, Curious George has been a favorite with children for his adventurous if at times disastrous explorations of his world. Though initially credited to H.A. (Hans Augusto) Rey alone, all of the original Curious George books were full collaborations between Rey (who did much of the illustrating) and his wife Margret (who did much of the writing). After Hans died in 1977, Margret continued to write and edit Curious George stories, which are still illustrated in the classic Rey style.
