Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Sixty years have passed since a curious little chimp in Africa met the man with the big yellow hat and got into the first of many scrapes. Decades later, George is as curious--and naughty--as ever. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Curious George's debut, this special edition is a collection of seven classic adventures by Margret and H.A. Rey, along with an introduction by critic Leonard Marcus, a retrospective note by publisher Anita Silvey, a history of the Reys by Dee Jones, curator of the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection, and a photo album. The many generations of fans of the "good little monkey who was always very curious" will be fascinated to learn how H.A. and Margret escaped on bicycle from German-occupied Paris, with just their winter coats and several picture books (including a draft of Curious George, then called Fifi) strapped to the racks. Photos and essays reveal H.A. to have been a gentle, humorous man, while Margret, by all accounts, was spirited and brutally direct, with a keen business mind. The chemistry between them worked beautifully. Between them, they created one of the most beloved characters in children's literature. This handsome volume includes Curious George, Curious George Takes a Job, Curious George Rides a Bike, Curious George Gets a Medal, Curious George Flies a Kite, Curious George Learns the Alphabet, and Curious George Goes to the Hospital. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter


From Publishers Weekly

Gathering all of the intrepid monkey's tales under one roof, The Complete Adventures of Curious George: 60th Anniversary Edition by Margret and H.A. Rey begins with an introduction by Leonard S. Marcus, continues with publisher Anita Silvey's perspective and follows with the six original tales in their entirety. Photos of the creative couple close the volume.

3.0 out of 5 stars The original and best George stories!, Sep 29 2006
By drahcir "drahcir" (TORONTO, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Don't know why it came out as 3 stars- meant to give it 5!!!!

I dimly remember reading the "George" books years ago. When I saw this collection, I couldn't resist buying it for my daughter.

In a word, it's wonderful!

The stories are entertaining, if unpredictable. In "Curious George gets a medal", he goes from trying to write a letter to 'borrowing' a pump and cow to riding in an experimental rocket. In "Curious George rides a bike", he goes from riding a bike to making paper boats (I learned how to do it from this book!) to appearing in a circus.

The drawings themselves are also wonderful. H.A. Rey had impeccable style. And rather than be completely obsessed with the current political 'incorrectness' of showing people smoking or the minimal presence of minorities, I choose to be amused by the perspective that's given of the 40s, 50s, and 60s-it's sort of a time capsule of the period.(similarly, original Star Trek says more about the 60s than it does about the future...)

Additional material providing the history and origin of George is fascinating- it's a good read for the grownups.

The binding of the book is pretty durable, although it's starting to show some wear and tear. It's a havy book, but our 21-month old can carry it around.... and bring it to us when she wants to hear one of the stories yet again...

Maybe that's the biggest downside- your children may enjoy it to the point that YOU get sick of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book to Read at Bedtime, Mar 17 2004
By Jeffrey T. Munson (Dixon, IL) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When I was a child, curious George was one of my favorites, and now this fine book allows me to pass along George's adventures to my own children. Perhaps the best thing about this book is that it contains so many curious George stories. You could read a different story each night for several nights. My children have quickly become as fond of George as I was when I was a child. The accompanying illustrations are very colorful and they definitely grab a young child's attention. I highly recommend this fine children's book. It is a great book to share with your children and perhaps serve as a reminder to your own childhood.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect under the tree!, Oct 22 2003
This makes a great gift. Curious George is a very fun character, who gets into really interesting situations. There's a lot of "story" here, and hours of reading fun.

I like this one as it's become a cherished book for my kids. They read it together, and have lots of fun with it.

The first few stories are certainly classics. Further adventures in the book are not as fine, but they certainly do entertain. George is so cute. That darn monkey!
