Curious George is a children’s book favorite

By Doug Heckler

As part of the monthly exploration of children’s literature at St Mary of the Assumption School, Mrs. Tate’s kindergarten class celebrated H.A. Rey’s birthday on Monday, Sept. 17.  He is the author of the Curious George series of books loved by many generations of children.

The children began their day by coloring a picture of Curious George and making a mask. On the playground, they played monkeys and in art class drew Curious George. During their math session the children counted curious Georges placed about the room and practiced adding and subtracting Georges. After reading a few Curious George stories, the children helped themselves to “Monkey Bread in honor of Curious George and his creator H.A. Rey.
