Curious George Gets a Medal

by H. A. Rey

Overview

Can a chimp become a champ? “Children will welcome with great delight this fourth book about the engaging little monkey.”—The Horn Book
 
When George gets a letter from the mailman, he’s definitely excited about it—but monkeys can’t read! He decides to write a reply but winds up spilling ink all over the floor. Trying to clean it up puts him in bubbles of trouble—and that’s not the least of his worries. It takes a series of misadventures for George to discover that the letter came from a scientist who wants George to become the first monkey in space—and he’s just curious enough to do it!

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.
