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.

Editorial Reviews

Originally published in French, Cecily G. and the 9 Monkeys was not only Hans and Margret Rey's first book for children; it marked the first appearance of their most enduring creation: Curious George. In this welcome reprint, the diminutive, ever-inquisitive tailless chimp copes with the irrationality of reality.

"There is originality and a childlike humor in both the amusing antics and engaging pictures." Booklist, ALA
