The Complete Adventures of Curious George
422 pages · First published 1969
This omnibus gathers the original Curious George adventures created by Margret and H. A. Rey. George’s curiosity repeatedly carries him into cities, hospitals, jobs, vehicles, experiments, and other situations where a monkey’s enthusiasm produces chaos before ingenuity helps set things right. The stories share a predictable rhythm of exploration, trouble, and affectionate reunion with the Man with the Yellow Hat. Read together, they show why George became an enduring children’s character: his mistakes arise from the same desire to understand the world that makes his adventures irresistible.
