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.
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
