Synopsis

Did you know the youngest babies see high-contrast images and patterns best? This accordion-style board book features simple black-and-white shapes for newborns on one side and a rainbow of colors and scenes with George for toddlers on the reverse. What better way for curious babies to learn about color than with Curious George! The book includes a magnetic closure and is sturdy enough to stand on its own. Set it up on the floor to encourage a newborn to turn her head or an older baby to lift his head during tummy time. Also includes tips on different ways the book can be used for recognizing simple shapes and teaching color mixing.

About this title

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.
