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.

Customer Reviews

A family favorite5
My 3 year old loves Curious George books and all kinds of heavy equipment so combining the two means it's one of his favorite books, and just like George he is always curious especially about George and why he is doing what he is doing. In our house both my 3 year old and 17 month old would sooner read about Curious George than watch tv.

Good Story, Poor on Kindle2
The story itself is fine, albeit a little ADD in the usual Curious George manner. The main issue is again the Kindle format of this book. It's simply horrible to read to a child as the flow of words/pictures don't appear together on the same page, and make it impossible to read to your child from the Kindle.

I was very excited to see children books for the Kindle as it would allow me to bring a few books on the Kindle instead of lugging around physical books. Apparently, I'll still be lugging around the physical books.

Curious George and the Dump Truck5
Book was in better condition than advertised and came quickly. Very pleased with service.
