The Journey That Saved Curious George Young Readers Edition: The True Wartime Escape of Margret and H.A. Rey

In 1940, Hans and Margret Rey fled their Paris home as the German army advanced. They began their harrowing journey on bicycles, pedaling to Southern France with childrenâ€™s book manuscripts, including what would become the international sensationÂ Curious George,Â among their few possessions.

Now elementary school readers can follow the Reyâ€™s amazing journey in this Young Reader's Edtion. Part travel journal, part gripping biography this volume includes full-color illustrations, original photos, ticket stubs, entries from Hans Rey's diaries, activities, an new afterword, and an interview with the author. The perfect selection for book reports, biography units, and Curious George fans of all ages.
