About this title

Synopsis

Curious George’s chaotic adventures continue when the inquisitive monkey pays a visit to the train station in this young, fun picture book.

George, the man with the yellow hat and Mrs Needleman are at the train station to catch a train to the country. George becomes curious when he sees the station-master moving numbers and letters on a big sign and thinks he can be a big help. In the chaos that follows, a boy nearly falls on the train tracks chasing his toy engine, but George saves the day and gets to ride right up front!

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.

Martha Weston was the author and illustrator of two charming picture books about Tuck, as well as the illustrator of Clarion's successful Owen Foote books by Stephanie Greene. Martha Weston died in 2003.
