I cherish the memories of reading Curious George first readers during my public school days over 40 years ago. It’s a testament to the timeless appeal of classics that they continue to enchant new generations. Now, my 3-year-old has embraced the charm of that curious little monkey just as I did. We’ve enriched our children’s DVD collection with several Curious George films, and every night, we snuggle up to watch the series on Netflix before bedtime. She also has a delightful assortment of Curious George books and a cuddly plush from Gund that she snuggles with each night. It’s heartwarming to see her affection for the character, whom she lovingly calls Monkey George. For Christmas in 2015, we added the “Curious George 70th Anniversary Edition” to her collection of bedtime stories.

Curious George, first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1941, has been captivating readers for over seventy years. It’s astonishing to think that this beloved character is now 74 years old.

The complete collection of Curious George books, featuring the original seven stories by Margret and Hans, has achieved remarkable sales of over 25 million copies. Its lasting appeal is clear, as the initial tale has remained in print since its debut, showcasing its enduring charm and captivating storytelling!

George has emerged as one of the most beloved and recognizable characters in the realm of children’s literature. His escapades have been translated into a multitude of languages, including Japanese, French, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Swedish, German, Chinese, Danish, and Norwegian.

A fascinating discovery from a 2012 study on the beloved children’s series Curious George revealed that the show’s episodes and accompanying books significantly enhanced young children’s understanding of the science and math concepts presented, while also helping parents feel more at ease in guiding their children through these subjects.
