Curious George

Rare card · No. 21393

Curious George is a fictional monkey who is the title character of a series of popular children's picture books written and illustrated by Margret and H. A. Rey. Various media, including films and TV shows, have been based upon the original book series. George is described as "a good little monkey, and always very curious". In the first book, George is caught by "The Man with the Yellow Hat" and taken from Africa to America where the two live together. George and the Man with the Yellow Hat become good friends. George's first appearance was as a monkey named "Sirocco" in the book Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys (Raffy and the 9 Monkeys in the United Kingdom), which was first published in France during 1939. The popularity of the character led the Reys to feature "George" in his own series.
