It's George's first trip to the library and he can't wait to hear the book the librarian chose for story hour!

But it's hard for a little monkey to be patient, even when the librarian is reading a story about bunnies. George likes bunnies, but when he spies a dinosaur book on the table near the story circle, he has to have it! Now he sees a cart he can push along and he adds a book about elephants. And one about boats, and kites, and baking cakes... ! Will this book-happy monkey turn the library upside down to find the perfect story?

This edition features library tips, a library maze, a colour-your-own bookmark, and downloadable audio!

About the Author

Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals.

After serving in the army during World War I, he married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for 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. Curious George has been published in numerous languages. And many, many Curious George books have followed.
