The Reys' beginning reader Curious George Flies a Kite is now available as a Spanish/English bilingual edition. This is the first time this classic story has been translated to Spanish. When Curious George makes some cute bunny friends, one of the babies gets away! George uses a string to help get the bunny back to its mother, and discovers that strings can also be used for fishing and flying kites. But when Bill's kite flies away--with George attached--it will take the man with the yellow hat to get George back on solid ground. This edition features both English and Spanish text set in two different colours for ease of reading. AGES: 4 to 8 AUTHOR: The Reys were born in Hamburg, Germany. Hans Augusto Rey (1898-1977) met his wife-to-be; Margret (1906-1996), at a party in her father's home in Germany; when he first caught a glimpse of her, she was sliding down the banister. In their twenties and thirties they lived in Paris and in Rio de Janeiro, where Hans sold bathtubs in villages along the Amazon River. Eventually Cambridge, Massachusetts, became the Reys' home and community. Throughout their lives the Reys created many lively books together, including Spotty, Pretzel, and lift-the-flap books such as How Do You Get There? The manuscript of 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. Their incorrigible little monkey has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. 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 favourites as Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys and Find the Constellations. Colour throughout
