Product Description
Product Description
Curious George, the beguiling little monkey, is one of the most beloved of all children"s book characters. Now this collection of four board books featuring Curious George is available in a sturdy, reusable, carry-along box. Brightly colored and suitably scaled for the youngest readers, the books feature art from the original storybooks by H. A. Rey.
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 fatherÂ’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 ReysÂ’ 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.

Format:Board book
These are nice but short on words. 4 books at about 10 pages per book so not sure why it says 150 pages.
Format:Board book
My 2 year old daughter is obsessed with George and absolutely loves this box set. For the last 3 months we have had to read all four books every night! 'George Goes Fishing' is particularly well written.
Format:Board book
I bought these as a birthday present for my two year old who is mad on Curious George. The set of 4 board books comes in a lovely box, the illustrations are wonderful and my daughter loves them. An ideal present for monkey fans aged 1+

Kids loved it
Bought this 2-3 years ago, and the boys still love the books. Can't say enough about the brilliant little monkey.
