The Journey That Saved Curious George

Author: Louise Borden

Illustrator: Allen Drummond

Why Selected: I am a fan of Curious George

Literary Merit: An interesting read about Margret and H.A. Rey's escape from Nazi occupied Europe. Curious George almost never came to be and started out as "Fifi". Covers details of how George and other Rey books came to be. The artwork looks like the Rey's did it themselves.

Share: It's a longer read, so maybe just suggest to a fan of Curious George.

Appeal: Grades 3-6

Awards: None
