Curious George Visits the Library (with downloadable audio)

by H. A. Rey, Martha Weston (Illustrator)

Overview

It’s George’s first trip to the library and he can’t wait to hear the book the librarian chose for story hour! But it’s hard for a little monkey to be patient, even when the librarian is reading a story about bunnies. George likes bunnies, but when he spies a dinosaur book on the table near the story circle, he has to have it! Now he sees a cart he can push along and he adds a book about elephants. And one about boats, and kites, and baking cakes . . . ! Will this book-happy monkey turn the library upside down to find the perfect story?

This edition features library tips, a library maze, a color-your-own bookmark, and downloadable audio!

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.
