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.

Editorial Reviews

Curious George has been around for quite a while and now H. A. Rey's work has been transformed into Curious George's ABCs, a new board book. It is a whimsical offering with the capital letter incorporated into the animal or object depicted. Each time the letter appears in the text it is highlighted, and the text uses lots of words beginning with the featured letter-"F is a Fireman Fighting a Fire." 1998 (orig.
