About this title

Synopsis

Curious George lends a helping hand at the grand opening of a new toy store in town, but not everyone appreciates his efforts!

George's enthusiasm delights shoppers but with each new toy he discovers and tries, the shopkeeper grows more worried. Will his monkey business be bad for business? Everyone’s favorite monkey finds a clever way to make the grand opening a grand success.

About the Author

H. A. Rey (1898–1977) was born in Hamburg, Germany, near the world-famous Hagenbeck Zoo, and developed a lifelong love for animals and drawing. He and his wife, Margret (1906–1996), who studied art at the acclaimed Bauhaus school, had many pets—including two marmoset monkeys that joined them on one of their steamship journeys across the Atlantic. Hans and Margret’s world-famous curious monkey first appeared in a manuscript strapped to their bicycles as they fled wartime Paris for the safety of the United States. Committed philanthropists in their own lives, a portion of proceeds from each Curious George book sold flows to the Curious George Foundation, which funds programs for children that encourage inquisitiveness in learning and exploring. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS.www.curiousgeorge.com.
