Curious George Learns The Alphabet

What better way to learn to read than with Curious George as your classmate and the man with the yellow hat as your teacher? In this classic book by H.A. Rey, Curious George has progressed from learning to wash dishes, clean windows, and ride a bike to learning his letters--with time out for fun, food, football, mischief, and a surprise at the end!

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 studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then 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 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.
