Curious George Rides
Illustrations by H. A. Rey
This is George.
He is a good little monkey
and always very curious.
George loves to go places
and is always ready to ride
off on an adventure.
What do you think George rides
around his room?
He rides a ball!
What does George ride at the circus?
A bicycle!
What will George ride
to get downtown?
A taxicab?
A subway train?
No. George likes
to ride the bus.
How does George ride
high up in the sky?
He hangs
from balloons,
and glides on a kite,
and sometimes
he rides in a helicopter!
But when George
is ready to go home...
he rides in the little blue car with his
friend, the man with the yellow hat.
Good-bye, George!

Table of Contents
George gets a brand-new bicycle for his third anniversary with the man with the yellow hat. He rides off and gets into all sorts of trouble, but he eventually saves the day. “To his great delight, George is presented with a small bike; agrees to help a boy with his paper route; and is, again because of his curiosity, led into a fascinating adventure. Trouble he has, to be sure, but the adventure ends in a blaze of glory with George performing in a circus and gallantly rescuing a frightened baby bear.”Horn Book Throughout their lives H. A. and Margret Rey created many lively books together, including Spotty, Pretzel, and Whiteblack the Penguin. Their incorrigible little monkey, Curious George, has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere.
