關於作者:
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
CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS.
