About the Author

H. A. Rey and his wife, Margret, first introduced the world to the bighearted, fun-loving, mischievous hero Curious George in 1941, and young readers have been in love with him ever since. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy Award–winning television show on PBS, and Pretzel and the Puppies, based on their picture books, is a streaming series on Apple TV+. curiousgeorge.com; pretzelandthepuppies.com

Margret and H. A. Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favorites like Pretzel, Spotty, and Find the Constellations. They had many pets—including two marmoset monkeys that joined them on one of their steamship journeys across the Atlantic. Committed philanthropists in their own lives, a portion of proceeds from each Curious George book sold flows to the Curious George Foundation, which funds programs for children that encourage inquisitiveness in learning and exploring. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS and “Pretzel and the Puppies,” based on their picture books, is a streaming series on Apple TV+. www.curiousgeorge.com www.pretzelandthepuppies.com

Editorial Reviews

H.A. Rey's Curious George stars in four board books that incorporate Rey's classic artwork. In Curious George One to Ten and Back Again, youngsters count along with "1 curious monkey" as he points out "2 dinosaurs," "3 tasty donuts" and up to "10 paper boats" before counting down again. Curious George Rides charts the fellow's favorite ways to travel, from bike to subway to bus top. In Curious George Goes Fishing and Curious George and the Rocket, George goes on two adventures. In the first, adapted from Curious George Flies a Kite, he tries to catch a fish using cake as bait; in the second, based on Curious George Gets a Medal, he heads into space. "Five-four-three-two-one-BLAST OFF!" A turn of the page and book reveals a vertical spread of the action. ( Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
