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

Like most other anthropomorphic monkeys, Curious George knows little about baseball. He receives a full nine-inning tutorial, however, when his buddy Marco invites him to watch him play. George won't be just a spectator though; he also serves as the scorekeeper. At first, that task seems daunting, but with the help of Marco and a snack stand worker, our monkey apprentice learns the ropes of the scoreboard. In the final inning, things get even more exciting when our lovable little primate is drafted to become a pinch runner for the injured Mario. This cute, instructive paperback features baseball rules, a crossword, and, not least, English and Spanish text in different colors for ease of readability.
