Fun Trivia
Curious George is a brown monkey who is taken from his home in Africa to live in the big city with "The Man with the Yellow Hat". He first appeared in the 1939 story "Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys". When the Reys fled from Paris on bicycles in 1940, they carried the manuscript of "Curious George" with them; it was published in 1941. The books were originally credited to HA Rey; this was later changed to show him as the illustrator, and his wife Margaret as the story writer.
