Curious George Flies a Kite

by Margret Rey, H. A. Rey (Illustrator)

Overview

Curious George gets carried away—literally!—when a kite takes him for a ride in this classic illustrated children’s book for beginning readers.

When George uses a string to help get a baby bunny back to its mother, he learns how string can be used for all sorts of things—like fishing or flying kites. But when Bill’s kite flies away with George attached, it will take the man in the yellow hat to get George back on solid ground.

This classic Curious George adventure is told in a simplified text suitable for first-graders to read themselves.

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 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.
