Editorial Reviews

When Hans Augusto Rey and his wife Margret escaped from Nazi occupied Paris in June 1940, they rode on homemade bicycles and carried little more than a sheaf of manuscripts. Among those papers was the illustrated story of an inquisitive monkey now known to the whole world as Curious George. This Spanish language hardcover collects eight stories about the lovable animal mischief-maker.
