- 文 / H. A. Rey 播 / 佚名
- 《好奇的乔治》是美国最为流行的儿童故事图画书系列之一，自1941年首次出版以来，销量达4,000万册以上，并被热心者译成日语、法语、葡萄牙语、瑞典语、德语、汉语、丹麦语等文字。最初这书只有7册，由玛格丽特和翰斯·奥古斯托·雷夫妇联手创作。玛格丽特潜词酌句，故事讲得绘声绘色，断句、隔页恰到好处，制造出一个个小小悬念；翰斯妙笔生花，把小猴子画得活灵活现。经历冷战、独霸、全球化的美国老少三代虽然人生阅历迥异，“世界”观不尽相同，对乔治——那书中主角——的爱却是薪火代代相传、有增无减。本音频包含七个故事.《好奇的乔治》，《乔治得到一份工作》，《乔治放风筝》，《乔治骑单车》，《乔治获得奖章》，《乔治学字母》，《乔治上医院》。
