  7. FAMOUS QUOTES BY THE REYS "Children can easily identify with George, who despite his good intentions often finds himself neck-deep in trouble.” Now run along and play, but don't get into trouble.' George promised to be good. But it is easy for little monkeys to forget.” ― H.A. Rey

  8. He was a good little monkey and always very curious He came down from the tree to look at the large yellow hat As soon as George was alone he looked around at all of the strange hospital things. "I wonder what is in that big blue bottle," he thought. He knew he could not fly the kite in this wind, but maybe he could let it go up just a little bit. "Sure, I can use you!" the elevator man said to George. "I will give you what you need for the job. You can start right away. But remember - you are here for washing windows. Never mind what the people inside the house are doing. Don't be Curious or you'll get into trouble. He poured in some soap. First a little, then a little more, then the whole box. He pushed the handle and the machine started to wash. Suds began to float right out of the machine and over the top! Soon, suds were everywhere! In the president's office George had to sign a contract. Now he was a movie actor!
