Curious George
48 pages · First published 1941
A curious little monkey named George is taken from Africa by the Man with the Yellow Hat and brought to a city. George’s irresistible curiosity leads him from one mishap to another as he experiments with unfamiliar objects and situations. Trouble follows, but so do ingenuity and a generally cheerful willingness to explore. H. A. Rey’s classic picture book introduces a character whose adventures are driven less by disobedience than by the comic consequences of wanting to know how everything works.
