George is happy to be outside—it is a clear windy day and his neighbor Bill is flying a kite. That looks like something that could really be fun. When Bill has to go because his mother is calling for his help, he turns the kite over to George. This particular kite is too big for George to manage and it takes off with him. Luckily for him, the man in the yellow hat arrives in his hang glider and rescues his pal. The closing pages provide instructions for building paper airplanes (not a kite) and instructions for flying a kite. Since kites are not hard to make, it seems a bit strange that instructions are not given for making one. A Level 1 book that contains simple sentences and concepts. (Children's Literature ) |
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.
