Overview
Read the book that started it all! This first story to feature Curious George includes a historical afterword by Louise Borden.
“There is originality and a childlike humor in both the amusing antics and engaging pictures.”—Booklist
A lonely giraffe with no playmates meets nine monkeys with no home. Can there be a happy ending? Of course there can—one of the monkeys is Curious George!
This is the first story to feature Curious George, and when you read it, you’ll know why children demanded that Margaret and H.A. Rey gave this mischievous monkey his very own adventures. Bursting with the joyful imagination that made Curious George a timeless classic, this is a playful celebration of friendship. The afterword by Louise Borden, author of The Journey that Saved Curious George and celebrated children's book author, shines a light on the Rey's amazing life story and how Cecily G. paved the way for them create Curious George.
