Curious George and the Hot
Air Balloon by: H. A. Rey;
Margret Rey: While on
vacation, George and the man
with the yellow hat stop to
see Mt. Rushmore. There's no
time to take a helicopter
ride for a close-up view -
the hot air balloon races
are about to start! Whisked
up and away at the races, a
surprised George gets a
close-up view of the
presidents after all. The
adventures of Curious George
continue in an all-new
series beginning in fall
1998 with eight new stories. |

Who isn't
smitten with Curious George? No matter your
age, the inquisitive little fellow who always
seems to get into one scrape after another
has, in all likelihood, captured your heart.
Perhaps his popularity lies in the
predictability of his unpredictability. You
know that the second the man with the yellow
hat leaves the house, warning George to be
careful, George is going to get into trouble.
And when George starts getting into trouble,
he only digs himself deeper.
As Margret Rey observed, "George can do what
kids can't do. He can paint a room from the
inside. He can hang from a kite in the sky. He
can let the animals out of their pens on the
farm. He can do all these naughty things that
kids would like to do." One cannot give enough
credit to the Reys. H. A.'s delightful
illustrations and Margret's clear and precise
turn of phrase may appear effortless, but
that's only because they labored over each
book to achieve that perfect look and tone.
Instead of relying on marketing surveys for
book ideas, H. A. and Margret Rey each looked
to the child within. "I know what I liked as a
child," H. A. once said, "and I don't do any
book that I, as a child, wouldn't have liked."
