Curious Georges chaotic adventures continue when the inquisitive monkey visits the library in this young, fun picture book.
The man in the yellow hat takes George for his very first visit to the library. George can't believe how many books there are and loads up a trolley with his favourites, but the trolley picks up speed and crashes what a mess! With the help of the librarian and the other children, the books are all picked up and sorted out, and George is left with a small pile of his favourites. He is even given a new library card so that he can borrow some more when he visits again.
Margret and H.A. Rey were both born in Hamburg, Germany. They married in Brazil and lived in Paris until the onset of World War II sent them fleeing to New York, where they began a whole new life as childrens book authors. The first Curious George book was published in 1941, and the series has now sold over 25 million copies worldwide.
