About the Author

The Reys were born in Hamburg, Germany. Hans Augusto Rey (1898-1977) met his wife-to-be, Margret (1906-1996), at a party in her father’s home in Germany; when he first caught a glimpse of her, she was sliding down the banister. In their twenties and thirties they lived in Paris and in Rio de Janeiro, where Hans sold bathtubs in villages along the Amazon River. Eventually Cambridge, Massachusetts, became the Reys’ home and community. Throughout their lives the Reys created many lively books together, including SPOTTY, PRETZEL, and lift-the-flap books such as HOW DO YOU GET THERE? The manuscript of 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. Their incorrigible little monkey has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. 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. Visit www.curiousgeorge.com.

Editorial Reviews

George is, as always, hilarious. In this story, he will also introduce young readers to fractions and portions. George has a lemonade stand and is working to earn money for a new soccer ball. Over the course of the afternoon, some grown-ups teach George how to divide lemonade into different amounts so that he can serve appropriately poured cups without running out. George also learns that the lemonade he sells does not automatically turn into a soccer ball. His small business lessons are valuable and George also takes the time to think of others by buying more lemonade to give to his friend. Early readers practicing their skills will get an introduction to basic math in this addition to the popular “Curious George” series. The supplemental material includes a lemonade recipe and a page about finding fractions in everyday life, showing readers that this concept is a relevant skill in their life. Reviewer: Laura Dekle; Ages 4 to 7.
