George is a good little monkey and always very curious. Margret and Hans Rey wrote stories about him. Their books told about his adventures. 2

Margret and Hans met at a party when Margret was a girl. They met again when they were grown up. Then they began to write and draw pictures together. 3

Hans wrote a book about a giraffe and nine monkeys. One of the monkeys was very smart and very curious. Margret and Hans wanted to write more books about that monkey! 4

So they wrote about the monkey and a man with a yellow hat. The monkey’s name was George. 5

George had many adventures. He sailed paper boats down a river. He held on to a kite and flew across the sky. George was always trying new things! 6

Margret and Hans read about mice that went into outer space. They thought, “Why couldn’t George go, too?” So they wrote about George riding in a rocket ship. 7

Hans and Margret loved to go to the zoo. So they wrote about George going to the zoo, too. 8

Margret and Hans heard a story about bubbles. So they wrote about George and a big mess. George had to wash the floor after he spilled some ink. Then the room filled with bubbles! 9

Margret and Hans do not write books anymore. But George is still having new adventures. Children are still reading about this curious little monkey! 10
