George is curious. Can he play baseball like his friend Jimmy? George tries his hand at batting some balls but interferes with the baseball game and gets chased away by angry players. Later, George makes a catch and a rescue that none of the other players could and becomes the hero of the day.
Hans and Margret Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favorites like Spotty and Pretzel. But it was their rambunctious little monkey who became an instantly recognizable icon. After the Reys escaped Paris by bicycle in 1940 carrying the manuscript for the original Curious George, the book was published in America in 1941. More than 200 Curious George titles followed, with 75 million books sold worldwide. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS.
