AGES: 0 to 3 AUTHOR: Hans and Margret Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favourites like Spotty and Pretzel. But it was their rambunctious little monkey who became an instantly recognisable icon. After the Reys escaped Paris by bicycle in 1940 carrying the manuscript for the original Curious George, the book was published in America in 1941. More than 200 Curious George titles followed, with 75 million books sold worldwide. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS.
