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.

Book Description hardcover. Condition: New. Young, Mary O'Keefe (illustrator). Illustrated. From School Library JournalPreSchool-Grade 1-Curious George goes Christmas tree shopping with the man in the yellow hat, and climbs into a tree that gets delivered to a children's hospital. Although lost, the little monkey makes the best of the situation by decorating the boughs with such items as gauze, X-rays, and crutches and by changing the name tags on all the presents. All ends well as the young patients are entertained and the man with the yellow hat arrives to collect his companion. The text is stilted, and both the plot and illustrations owe a great deal to Margret and H. A. Rey's Curious George Goes to the Hospital (Houghton, 1966). Still, the illustrations capture the look, if not the flavor and charm, of the originals, and so this book will likely be popular with young Curious George fans.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

He can t wait to help his best friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat, pick out their holiday tree. At the tree farm, however, amid all the excitement of finding the perfect specimen, George gets carried away, as usual-atop his favorite tree! Hiding in the tree s branches, George finds himself delivered to the local children s hospital, where his tree trimming antics cheer the children and he gets to meet a jolly man in a bright red suit.ReviewChildren who love Curious George will like this latest adventure, and the story is shorter and more accessible than some of the longer original entries in the series.Kirkus ReviewsAbout the AuthorHans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898.
