About this eBook

Tired of being treated differently by his family just because he is spotted and the other rabbits are white, Spotty sets out on his own to seek acceptance. This edition of the original 1940s classic, with its vintage pictures and optimistic ending, offers a story that still needs to be told.

As an overly creative child who often felt excluded for seeing the world outside the box, this book was so important to me growing up. It taught me to stand up for myself, and love the things that made me different (and in years to come would provide me with a career in performing arts). Spotty fosters acceptance, values diversity, and encourages empathy. I still love this book for all the reassurance it gave my child self when bullied, that one day I would find others just like me.

About the author

Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in numerous languages. And many, many Curious George books have followed.
